The advantage of druid tanking, from what I've seen, is sheer durability. Warriors, rather than absorption, seem to focus on deflection (defense bonuses to parry/dodge/block), without spiky damage. With a Dire Bear's obscene armor bonus, along with the fact that they receive 14 health per stamina due to Heart of the Wild, even if they *do* get double critted, I still have plenty of time to rev up a Greater Heal before he drops. The downside to this is that a druid bear tank is less mana efficient to heal than a warrior, and are thus more difficult to keep in action during extended combat.
