4x Warriors and 1 paladin set up

The only way to make a tank work, reliably, is going to be to let your other warriors sit passively auto attacking for 5-10s at best.

My recommendation is, this is not a good system to plan for. You have zero CC. You are face tanking everything. This means that for example, when you go into BRD, if you decide you want to farm Bael'Gar, enjoy the 5 elite packs. These fights even at 57-58 are straight up DPS races, and if you're fiddling with trying to manage agro for 10s, you're going to die. So, you don't wait to build threat and you go ham, and your tank MIGHT get threat, but it might not, and if it doesn't, then you're really just down a DPSing warrior and those DPSing warriors are tanking anyways.

I think you are correct and for Horde it may not be viable.

An Alliance team with a Paladin can give the 3 Arms Warriors -30% Threat and give a single Fury Warrior a strong chance to be the one to typically SnowBall. It hasn't proven out to be consistent in practice at 31-33 as Sweeping-Strikes by themselves is just too much but hopefully at Level 36+ when all get WhirlWind the DPS will be close enough that a Fury Warrior with a relative +30% Threat can keep the aggro (especially if he is charging in first getting initial "sight aggro" and is the only one shouting initially and thus getting all the initial hits). In that approach you shouldn't really need to wait 5-10 seconds...
