I also wonder about how dependent on gear these results are.
In my (limited) experience druids can tank just fine, but they do seem to take damage faster than warriors. On the other hand, they tend to have a lot more HP.
I would be curious to see how much this is due to natural reasons, and how much it is due to gear differences. Most tanks I know focus on stamina and +def, whereas I see more armor and a variance of stats on druid gear.
It would be interesting to see how a druid tank would stack up against a warrior, if the druid had 400+ defense. Maybe to get that much +def, they would have to sacrifice agility and crit and other things, making them about equal to warriors in grabbing aggro, and in staying alive.
