And if holding Argo is my main attribute then u can keep it because for ONE that would mean there is no BALANCE among core tanking abilities NO one tank should hold Argo better then another TANK!

PLUS at 1:1 ratio, damage to hate, that would mean we would be at the bottom of the argo holding chain because we as WARRIORS cant do anything good just melon collie.

I have 2 issues with your thought process. This is not meant as an attack in any way, just a suggestion as another way to look at it.
  1. Each Raid encounter in VG will be different. The Warriors strengths are Physical dmg and physical Mitigation. On top of that there will be encounters that mobs could resist DK and PAL biggest hate generating abilities. This would make the warrior in that encounter the best suited to do the job. The same could happen for the other classes as well.
  2. As stated above the damage type could play a role in helping the warrior in generation more hate than lets say a DK. Your 1:1 ratio also applies to the Warrior as well. They get the 1:1 and their hate generating abilities to "level the playing field with other non-defensive classes. Tactics are everything. If you are in an encounter where the DK and PAL cannot hold aggro then maybe the Warrior could do it better. The only concern I have is that SIGIL will need to make sure there are equal number of encounters for each of these defensive fighters, truely making them different classes with equal desirablility.
