For the raid game, every guild will need a decent supply of both. Warriors tank the main bosses. SK (and paladin) do a better job of grabbing and tanking the adds and such.

In the group game with raid gear, it doesn't matter. Both will tank better than is needed.

In the group game with group gear, it depends on everyone else in your group. With people that can't manage their aggro, SK have a larger aresenal of tools to keep the aggro on them. When going up against hard hitting named, the warrior will hold a slight edge in damage mitigation.

In smaller groups, the ultiity of the SK puts them ahead of the warrior.

In solo or molo situations, the SK is way ahead of the warrior.

Interesting comment.

Yes, SK still have the edge in generating quick aggro/hate on a mob; however, warriors have closed the gap in the last few expansions. Through various discplines and aggro modifiers (which used to only be on raid gear), warriors have a larger array of ways to generate "snap aggro". The main difference that I have noticed is that SK can generate aggro with very low mana spells, but the warriors need to use endurance eating disciplines.
