As promised I did just some quick parses, now before you start bashing me these fights are only ten minutes because I do not have all day to sit around parsing and I wanted to do this in the most controlled possible way, the DPS looks low because there is no haste involved at all.
The tanks: War-> Behn Pal-> Miffane
Both with comparable gear, same charms etc, one note Miffane has about 6% more tomes and a few percent more Deity spec.
To perform these parses I removed all haste items because I did not want the gnome bonus to be a factor, I also clicked all buffs. I then let the respective tanks wail on Uageru in a duel for ten minutes with these results:
First test, both tanks using klazkah the mirror blade both in /s 2 and Uageru not attacking
Behn: 113.81 DPS
Miffane: 92.55 DPS
Next I did a similar test except I wanted to see what the two tanks dps would look like while tanking. For these fights they used there normal tanking weapons, on Miffane Evolution and Amalgamated great shield. On Behn Frostwrath and Patriarch. Miffane was in /s 3 and Behn in /s 12 because why would a 65+ War ever use /s 3? I had Miffane act like she was tanking, keeping ghot up and throwing a blind every 30 sec or so. (note I through a few bashes and kicks in there yes, so sorry about that
)
Behn: 90.45 DPS
Miffane: 66.10
So, to me it seems that warriors are very much out dpsing paladins, even in the first test where everything possible was equal Behn did a solid 21 more DPS and he has 6% less tomes and 3% less Deity spec than Miffane.
After doing this a few things have come to my attention, for a knight one hander to out dps two weapons it must have a ratio twice as good as the average ratio of the two weapons, I don't think that there are any such weapons (comparing weapons in same tiers). This being the case at high end where AAs mean dual wield and double attack never fail.
Also, while from these parses it seems paladins have ~5% innate crit and warriors ~10-15% there is a large difference in accuracy, I presume from slightly higher skill caps since the only stat Miffane is really behind in is agility.
One last note because I know it will come up, they were not fighting a neutral or evil foe so Holy Fury did not come into play and neither did riposte dmg much (which I am assuming would boost war dps only slightly more than pal). In either case Behn out DPSed Miffane by more than 20% when both were on equal terms and really by more than 26+% when tomes and Deity spec are factored in. I think this needs to be looked into very seriously.
Hopefully devs could do there own more extensive parses though if some one really wants me to parse for a longer time interval I suppose I could but I just wanted to get some real numbers up for people to see without wasting my whole evening. Thank you for reading.
