I understood that the main benefits of the palladins are:
- better for 5 man instances
- easier to keep aggro with AoE
- useful buffs

The protection warrior benefits seem to be:
- better for heroics/raids
- crowd management (fear, stun, disarm)
- not mana-based
The reason Paladin tanks are considered better is the AE tanking. Hit one button and forget about it. Warrior tanks are easier to gear since the way paladin tanks. Paladin tanks need spell dmg, some mana, LOTS of block. All and all its really just a person preference, Warriors are ganna take a bit more mircomanagement to keep agro on some of the larger pulls but paladins will be a bit harder to gear. Im going with the paladin for buffs (water shield + BoW), AE tanking, and paladins lore wise are better then warriors =P

On a side note when I said paladins need spell dmg you only need about 300 to tank kara so you can get most of that with s2 mace + 40 spell dmg.
