Clearly, because my experiences don't agree with you, my warriors are incompetent.

I ask again: Is there anything I can say which will make you believe me? No matter what I say, you'll just accuse my players of being terrible (all that raid progression clearly means nothing), accuse me of having a slanted viewpoint (my viewpoint is solely slanted towards what works), call me a liar, or attempt to discredit me in some other way. Are you approaching this with an open mind? Is there any kind of evidence you'll accept? Are you willing to admit that you're wrong?

Or am I just wasting my time?

I don't think this is what's being said Skan. It's not an attack on our warriors, I see it as a possible question to gain further info and insight. Yes the higher encounters are a bit different warrior aggro generation (from my limited knowledge) seems to stay about the same while DPS get boosted. Meanwhile the way blizzard has designed a number of encounters require DPS to burn mobs/adds immediately in order to beat enrage timers, meaning tanks need snap aggro that locks mobs onto them. Warriors do have Taunt and Shield Slam but again it comes down a bit to what we said about Warrior/Druid rage/aggro generation. This is of course just from my observations and glimpses I get while pew pewing (my main is my warlock) and watching Trends on Threat meters.

I think that there's been an unnecessary tension building. I suggest everyone take a step back, take a few deep breaths and re-read a post before replying to it. I myself have been guilty of making an assumption on someone's point or purpose to a post and afterwards realized that I made a null point or myself look like an ass. As Mav said, let's try and leave personal attacks and retorts out of this discussion. I'm sure if we all be reasonable we can flip this into a very resourceful thread but we need to check our attitudes at the door.
