Yea this is a thing with the US project personaly I dont wont to turn down any classes just because they are unviable for specific roles, however on the issue of Pally tanking there are certain factors that makes them unviable.
In my mind the things that make a good tank at 50 are, Health, Passive Damage Reduction, Armor, Avoidance in that order.
Warriors have a decent amount of all of these, they have high health, crazy passive damage reduction (25%), Best armor due to plate, and gaining parry through streangh gives them suitable avoidance.
Paladins however have to deal with 2k less hp than warriors buffed which is a huge amount to 50s, they lack passive damage reduction (I cant rememebr but I know they get 15% at level 64 so theyre passive at 50 is either 10% or 0%), Theyre armor is about the same as warriors which is around 50% due to using leather gear to get all the hp from certain item slots like the helm slot. And finaly their avoidance, again this is similar to warriors. Overall from testing conducted in AQ warriors are being hit for 2.5k a meele attack, Im not going to do all the maths and your welcome to do it and prove me wrong but from what iv seen paladins are being hit for 4k a meele attack. However another big part of PvE is teh crazy burst some guy can do which account up to 7k on a warrior in less than half of a second. This would defeintly be a 1 shot on Paladins.
