Now as someone who has played WoW since BC, I've always wanted to try tanking, and I gotta tell you my experience (when I tried it in MoP), made me wanna lose my lunch and almost made me shower fully clothed and crying.
 
How is tanking in this game via Warrior?
 
I mean am I going to need to memorize a boat-load of boss and mob mechanics?
 
Am I going to need to be a 'leader' so to speak, because I make a garbage leader?
 
Anyone experienced in tanking in this game and how it differs from WoW and/or SWTOR can help me out? I mean Warrior DPS is fun and all, but I do wanna try tanking just so I can be a tank when the group and/or raid needs a tank.

Can't speak for the other games, but yeah you're going to need to know how fights work because you have the most control over them, you pull and position things. It's not a big deal though the tougher fights are going to take a lot of wipes regardless if it's your mistake or someone else's. 
 
I'd recommend to just find a guild to progress with. That way you're all learning the stuff, you're not going to be dragging anyone down, or getting carried. It's just more fun to learn along with your group as well.
