I have not noticed that. Every random group I do has a warrior tank.
But seriously, I'd say I see warriors and paladins most often.

That's weird. While leveling my Prot Warrior, I could swear, every tank I saw was a Prot Warrior. Is there something wrong with your sampling?
What kind of sampling did you use? Stratified Random Sampling? Simple Random Sampling? Cluster Sampling? Multistage Sampling? (/end troll)

they must have done something so that you'll always have CC and interrupters... good for groups, but still long queue times...

Switched from Warrior to Paladin. My guild had 4 warrior tanks and one dk - no paladins, no bears.
Our guild main-spec tanks are Myself, another Warrior, and a Druid. We have a DK and a Paladin that has off-spec tanked a small handful of times in our raids (mainly just when we needed a fourth tank for heroic Halfus). We have an additional warrior who has offspec tank gear that does heroics occasionally.
That's all of the main-character tanks in our guild. We have a few other people who have alts who are tanks, but the only one I can think of off the top of my head is the Tank Druid who has an alt who's a Warrior tank.

I think (don't quote me on this) that the RDF tries to not double up classes in a 5man if it can avoid it. There is a large pool of DPS to select from at 85, so if a warrior tank queues up it wouldn't be difficult to bring DPS other than another warrior. On the other hand, at lower levels you could assume that there are less people queueing up as they're quickly outleveling content, so it likely matches you with whatever is available.
I absolutely
never
get a warrior tank when I queue as my warrior (arms), nor do I ever see duplicates of other classes (two warlocks, etc.). When I queue for heroics on my mage however, I often get warrior tanks, but there usually isn't another warrior present.
Again, this is just a theory I have. It could just be my dumb luck.
I've ended up (On my Prot Warrior) in a group of 3 Fury Warriors and a Paladin Healer.
In VP, man that one sucked....
