As a priest who runs with a defensive specialized warrior, defense stance does work and works quite well. I can always tell when Gnolack comes out of defensive stance because I have to heal him at least twice as much when he switches to battle stance and that's when I'm most likely to pull aggro (thanks to fade I can give it up again usually). He can usually get aggro quite quickly in defensive stance even if someone else does the pulling to start the fight. For the specifics, he'll have to post, but I've seen just how durable that crazy little gnome warrior is and he is so unbelievably easy for the healers to keep alive.
Intolerant monkey.
