Imo, warriors dominate in PvP compared to a paladin. They tank just as well, if not better than a paladin in most situations. And they put out more dps than a ret paladin, that I know of. I"m not aware of the pally buffs and nerfs for wotlk, but paladins won't out dps'ing Warriors any time soon.

Try 1 of each. Personally I find playing a warrior boring. You might have the opposite experience.

Don't bet on that. the devs are making a HUGE effort to make ret pallys do "competitive" DPS. Right now they are having to tune them down because they are doing too much DPS. The pally class is being overhauled more than any other class in the game. Oh, yeah, all pally DPS spells will now stack off of AP so expect to see more STR stacking for pallys, boosting both spell and white damage :)
As far as going OOM goes ret is getting

this is a circular debate that will go on forever. just pick which one appeals to you more. and with the upcoming changes, nobody really knows what is going to happen to each of them.
however, warriors will never be able to heal; if you'd ever like to do that, you better roll a pally. pallies are considered very good main tank raid healers.
with WoLK, differences between the classes are going to narrow. that being said, pallies will still be known as the "best" AOE tank and warriors will still be the "best" physical damage mitigation tank.
fury warriors can do very good raid dps, while ret pallies don't get much respect currently. however, this should also change in the expansion so they can both be desirable for a dps slot.
soooo, there is no best, and if blizzard does their job, there never will be. pick which one appeals to you more.
