I have run with both; if they would fix the Juggernaut’s AOE abilities it would be my favorite class as one does not need to micromanage the rotation.

PT is awesome at grabbing the attention of a group from a distance; you can choose to either play ranged tank for mobs that simply don’t want to come to you as your only job is to maintain their attention while the Sorc’s melt them.
For the heroic 4+ where you face 3-4 Elites and/or Champion, I will open up by having the Sorc’s CC the golds; PT has pre-targeted the remaining mob(s) and grabs their attention with ranged abilities. Juggernaut this is harder when the mob just wants to sit there and blast your clothies, since many times your leap will break one or more of the CC’d targets. Once my PT get grapple it will become even easier to keep the heat off the Sorcs.
Speaking of heat; that is my only gripe about the Powertech as heat management is a pain and does not allow a smooth smash and forget rotation; all and all I am very happy with the current setup – played a solo Juggs to cap and a solo PT up into the 40’s so I know the mechanics of both.
