Then it's time to find a new warrior, because the one you are
grouping with sucks. Tell them to learn how to click the Taunt
button more. A warrior can taunt _anything_.

Nothing frenzies a monster quicker than a pixie strike, charm
mix. The monster stays on me for 3 or 4 round, and then the
warrior has taunted enough to pull it off me.

They will kill you if you think you are gonna tank damage.
Let's face it, we've got no hp. At level 31, I have 700 or
so hp. I'm fighting monsters that do 50 - 80 damage a pop,
and sometimes double attack. It is YOUR job to pull out as
soon as possible from a confrontation, and let the tank TAUNT
it off you always.

Whether you use your weapons or not, 90% of the damage in
most typical battles comes from the casters and tanks.
You are supporting the battle with your buffs, debuffs,
crowd control, healing. I'm not saying to stop swinging,
cause that doesnt matter at all, I'm just saying don't
continue to piss off a frenzied monster any more than it
is. The tanks are more suited at absorbing damage than
you are.
