Is this really the state of prot warriors?

Today, I ask to join a 10m Ulduar group for all hard modes + Algalon. I’ve tanked Algalon before at 4800 GS. I’m now 4960 GS/233 ilvl. I have Algalon kills logged. I also have a 4900 GS dps set with 90+ parses on all fights. The group leader decides to go with a paladin tank. I’m curious so I look up the Paladin’s logs. He hasn’t even downed all the hard modes and has no Algalon kills. The group leader tells me he’s seen a warrior get slapped by Algalon before. The paladin wasn’t a friend’s alt or anything.Are Paladins such superior tanks that they can just ignore any type knowledge on fights and be better than a geared and proven warrior?
