I think the problem people have with Paladins being such good tanks (although not the best), is that Warriors are so bad at everything *except* tanking.
Should pallys be able to tank? Sure, they are a melee/plate class, why not. But pallys can also heal, res, have good DPS, and excel at PvP. Warriors can't do any of these things (despite Blizzard claiming they are to be the big melee damage dealer) -- they can only tank effectively. So warriors and others get annoyed when pallys can do so many things better than warriors, and then can tank almost as well.
