Looking to level a dark iron dwarf but this will be mainly for soloing mog runs and maybe some light dungeons (one of the reasons I’m picking a tank class). Should I go warrior or paladin?
I run old content pretty easily as a ret pally. Good damage and really good survival tools and abilities. I’ve been soloing a few bosses up to Nightmare and Nighthold normal 10 man. I can’t do everything there, but I feel once my item level gets higher I’ll be able to do pretty good. Mythic dungeons in legion are not a problem either.
I don’t have a Warrior so I can’t speak about them. But most old content is easy for any class if it’s MoP down (barring any gimmicks).

I agree any class can do MoP and below. I was looking to do as much Legion stuff as I could.
I would say paladins for the self healing and the bubble hearth to get away from ganks
Fury has pretty good survivability through self healing but it still pales in comparison to the survivability of a pally.
Paladin for sure

Ive never died on my paladin so ya…
Depends if you want to be cool or not.
Warrior: looks cool, sounds cool, is cool
Quote: “die like the coward you are while I eat your guts”
Paladin: looks like a barbie doll, sounds like Jesus, isn’t cool
Quote: “for the light …”

paladin is probably the second easiest melee to play
Paladin, self-heals. Warrior has a heal but it’s bad as far as reliable goes.
I’m a little Paladin short and stout! Here is my hammer, here is my mount! When I get in trouble I scream and shout! Pop a bubble and hearthstone out!

Death Knight. Blood specifically.
So far, Emerald Dream normal is a cakewalk.
I find protection paladin to be a nice, forgiving solo class through through both old and new content. Tough, nice kit of abilities, some ranged reach, it’s the full package.

For solo Pally you cannot beat the self healing it can do.
For soloing dungeons both are good but paladins as tanks do have more heals and get out trouble methods.
Well buddy, if dark irons could be DKs we wouldn’t be having this topic.

Depending on how low the raids you are going either will suffice, the only issue I had as a warrior running lower level raids was rage regeneration, I felt like I was auto-attacking more often which made for a long boring session. The higher ones I recommend paladin for the self heals alone.
But as a side note the Warrior mogs look way better in my opinion.

If you are using the character for mog runs only, take him to 115 and stop go get legion legendaries the Boots and the triple leap shoulders and go fury just spam whirlwind and you’ll be running those old raids/dungeons very quickly.

i pick warrior smash
Paladins are cowards. They would rather bubble and run away before the battle is finished than fight to the bitter end and possibly turn the tide.
Edit: But for gameplay, fury is very fun with its self healing and spammy fast paced experience.
