I've been testing this against the Stone Guardians in Un'goro (because they are durable, easy to fight without adds and some of the highest levelled mobs available outside instances). Without using growl I've been able to pull off the three guild warriors that have been willing to fly to un'goro and test, even after giving each a five sunder headstart. Two were arms/fury and the third protection. The hardest to pull off was the protection warrior.

Does this agree with your experiences or have I just been unlucky regarding the warriors that I've tested against?

I agree. Swipe has some kind of very heavy aggro bonus so even though the damage sucks it is useful to use while tanking multiple mobs. I would say 3 swipes = about 1 shield bash but hits 3 targets so it comes out on top. The place I've felt this the most so far is Maraudon with the patroling rock elementals. With a defensive warrior it took quite a bit of effort to hold aggro on all of them, even with sunders on everything. Wth my druid all I did was swipe spam and it was a piece of cake. I'll bet maul has a similar aggro bonus but I haven't tested it against swipe directly.
