I made a lesser giant warrior because I wanted to be big and strong. I started in my home town because, to be quite honest, I don't like the island of homogeneity. I snagged the three level 1 quests that I saw near the starting point and began with attacking a 2 dot, level 1 monster for the first quest. ...and died. I figured I messed something up, so I gathered my wits about me and focused on the second mob. I won! I spammed my combat ability and finished the fight at an estimated 5% hp and endurance. Ok.. not a glorious victory, but still a victory. The next fight I tried to use a little more tactics. I popped my racial ability for a bunch of more HP and let my HP bar fill up before attacking the next 2 dot, level 1 NPC. ...and I DIED!? I think most of my attacks missed... or the silly creature got critical strikes on me. How is it that a level 1 caster can kill things in 1 or 2 hits but a warrior is made of papier-mache!? Anyways... if I'm making mistakes I apologize. If Vanguard just hates warriors then I'll try a better class

I mean leveling up a warrior lvl 1-55 can be a blast if you are macroed up, buffed to your teeth and know what you are doing, as no other tank could aoe dps burn through dungeons like a warrior... but endgame is different - there is very limited use for aoe agg/aoe dps in raids, leaving warrior as lower single target dps class with less invuls/surviveability and less single target aggro control (on top less aggro generation in def stance). their groupshouts and cleave miti debuff are somewhat handy though. but I fear that's not the main reason for most players to roll a war. not saying they are a total waste - they are more or less able to perform any task a pally or dk can do. but they rely much more on gear/buffs/playerskill than the other two tanks. especially pally, which needs least skill to perform somewhat decent (no mana/endurance issues later on). warrior is very different. unless you know what you are doing and have the motivation to reach for high end augs, you are going to be of very low use for any raid.
All that being said, I think every guild on the server would take another talented Warrior. Exile has 2 and is still looking for another.

The first few levels can be a pain, cause you have practically no skills, and your gear is crap, but those levels go by VERY fast. You will be amazed how much better life can be when you have 5-6 skills to learn to use. Hang in there!
