Its all the player/ gear difference. I have seen MS warriors out DPS ret pallys and i have seen a RET pally beat everyone on the damage meter.
Prot warriors are great and so are Prot pallys. All holy damage caused by a pally = threat. And pallys have a ranged taunt that can agro 3 enemies. I dont know for sure how warriors tank (sunders/taunt)ect. But I have ran many instances/ raids with prot warriors, feral druids and prot pallys, and i actually perfer pallys with there way of controling and holding lots of mobs at once via consecration for the mobs your going to AOE and the occational OH S#!t. Plus pallys put out some decent damage while they are tanking. But its all the player IMO. Our MT for our raids right now is either a druid or a warrior and both are great at there jobs.
So if you are trying to chose a pally or a warrior... Then its a toss up. What ever you think will be more fun for you, they both can tank and they both can DPS.
As a side not i LOVE seeing a prot warrior kill a mage with out even touching him. Saw it yesterday and i couldnt stop laughing. Hitting spell reflect and shooting a pyro blast back at the mage almost made me cry with laughter.
