It's not that folks didn't want warriors tanking, it's just that all the tanks left. Or warriors themselves refused to tank anything, only accepting an invite if they were in a dps role.
This is because they switched to full DPS specs for levelling, and found their aggro holding substantially gimped for it.
I have seen protection warriors do DPS. About 600 dps or so from Malaclypse's protection warrior going dual wield on Pathaleon (pre-nerf heroic), if I recall right, that being in high-end instance blues with the Blacksmithing epic one-hand hammer. I think it's misleading to say protection warriors absolutely cannot do DPS, just because they can't do as much as a fully specced DPS class.
