First off, I'm usually not the grammer nazi but fix your post and thread title, died a little on the inside when I came here.
I'd have to say Warrior is good imo. Lots of abilities to spec into to make life easier. Threat wise, My warrior is nearly hit and expertise capd as a tank, so yeah, I'm threating harder then a DK on steriods. Warrior tanks are more specialized on bosses, were before, always will be. For surviving abilities, warriors probaly have the best "O SHI-" buttons.

what the above poster is trying to say is that funest is not a word
if it's intentional, then no, it does not make you look adorably naïve

I enjoy tanking on my druid.
Sometimes it's a faceroll between Swipe and Maul, but usually you have to hit Mangle on every cooldown and maintain 5 stacks of Lacerate (and maybe even Demoralizing Shout) as well as refreshing Faerie Fire on every cooldown as well (not so much in Wrath).
Plus, you do a nice load of dps.

druids can tank well but if you want novelty try a lock tank, its funny because its
doable
, which is what tells me that we're broken, i wouldnt suggest trying to mt any 25 mans, but ot 25s is doable as well as main tanking 10 mans/heroics. last note i wouldnt try to mt ulduar 10 yet unless its easy mode.

I enjoy druids the most so I'd go with druids.
However, the skill lies in the person who plays the tank, not the toon itself.

All tanking classes can tank and fill the Main tank role.
That being said, I think it's down to mechanics and looks. No offense to bear tanks, but I would hate to stare at a bare bear's behind for hours. That basically ruled out Druids for me to play.
As for the rest, I think a tank should be huge and look menacing. Paladin and DK tanks have pretty amazing aoe aggro potential. I think DK's have it a bit rough at first in heroics (basically on trash with no blocking), but once they are geared they serve the MT role pretty well. Paladins are good too, and very strong in Naxx currently with all the undead. I'm horde side so Paladins have to be BE's, which has smaller frames (not sure if that matters to you).
But in the end, warriors have always been and (to me) will always be my favorite tank. They fill the role of MT well for all encounters (some tanking classes maybe better at certain fights) and I believe they are the benchmark for which Blizzard balances tanks around. They have an awsome mechanic in that they have infinite energy as long as they are still alive. And they have some nifty abilities that keep them in the tank race (like spell reflect).
