So, I was wondering what tank class is viable as a tank class from the get-go.  I know the stalker lacks in certain areas, and I really enjoy group PvE content, but I'm not sure which class, engineer or warrior, would be good for learning how to tank from the lowest level possible.
 
Any suggestions?

you have 2 action sets as default so you can level as dd and do the group content as tank. just swap them and get two sets of gear and you can do all content efficiently. you get gear for both roles during leveling. i was leveling my esper as dd (obv) and by lvl 10 i had 7 pieces with support power to heal in a dungeon.
 
as engi (for example) the gameplay is the same regardless of whether you play tank or dd. you send the bruiser bot to the target and press 3 buttons and at some point the mobs die. the difference is just the speed in which they die. as tank it takes forever. you just hurt yourself leveling as a tank.
 
obv its possible but its not really fun hitting a mob for 1+min when you can kill him in 15sec as dd. and then you have to kill 20more

I'm talking about running dungeons as a means of leveling.  I know that there is more content in the actual world, but I find more enjoyment running with groups, so, I don't mind working with others.
 
What about the warrior?

			You could do it, just be sure you have the right gear for it. You need to pick them up while questing or vendors I believe. Not too sure. Always a good change of pace.
