[VG] Defensive Fighters -or- Why Warriors Suck

Purely Vanguard related (for those few masochists of you whom still play).

In my guild, I am one of two MT's; or, more specifically, one of two warrior mains.

Right now, we're mopping up Cartheon / Marina / Vault.

Our biggest issue right now is aggro control, or rather, *warrior* aggro control. As warriors, one halfling and one (me) lg, we have opted to rotate MT duties. We also have 1 DK, 1 Paladin who act as OT's. On the boss mobs is where we have been experiencing this bounce. First to the DK, who is at DC5+ and destroying the mob with insane DPS. Then it bounces to the Paladin, as half of the mobs in APW are undead and as such it's easy (as a Paladin) to attract some serious aggro.

It's really not an issue of people playing their classes correctly at this point. We have examined every little nuance, worked on different strategies.

We're taking into consideration force immunity here. We've discussed it at length.

What I'm trying to find out - from anyone who's currently running a warrior in the end-game - is what (if any) strategies you utilize to keep and hold aggro. I'm truly asking for assistance here, since we can't seem to get our shit together and keep the mobs focused on us *all* the time.

If anyone has a masterful collection of macro's with advice on how to use them, great. If anyone knows of a particular skill that either DK/Pal has which you have expiremented with and noticed a decrease in "bounce", great.

Let's discuss?

I'm really tired of watching aggro bounce from tank to off-tank to off-tank to tank again, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ta,
