I have three warriors… and I rarely have three of anything… says something about the class IMO.

Heroic Leap man.
Nobody wants to watch a caster lob Fireballs/Frostbolts. Its boring.
Its not nearly as fun or as satisfying as witnessing a dude running straight into danger with a giant weapon/s in hand and watch him/her beat the crap out of people. AMVs are a Warriors domain.

Because I get to slap you in the face with a giant hunk of metal or shoulder slam you so hard you forget what magic is or yell so loud you shart yourself and run in fear from me.
I look at Warriors like a Hulk or Captain America or Deathstroke kind of sense. They’re physically stronger, faster, sturdier etc. The reason a player warrior is able to kill a demon lord isn’t just because they have magic weapons, armor, etc, but they’re swinging their axe that much harder.
It also gives a little bit of lore explanation to abilities like Heroic Leap, Charge, etc.

I dont get whats not awesome fantasy by the thought of wading into your enemies against ,in your words, “magic fantasy demons fearies elves elemental blood powers” with only the strength of your arm and the edge of your chosen steel. Its pretty damn bad-ash. Theres a genre called sword and sorcery for a reason.

Bear wizard checking in. I can attest that having Charge is one of the coolest moves in the game.
Also fun fact: If you jump right before you charge you basically fly to the enemy. So you can have your own pseudo “heroic leap” 
The warrior is both baseline and superlative. We represent the masses of the everyday soldier, the countless combatants who have decided to stand up for what they believe in despite living in a world of magic and supernatural danger. We transcend the rank and file to become a legendary example of the simplest aspirations made real.
We are masters of arms, tactics, and endurance. Mobility comes naturally to us, but we can make a stand and hold a line, distract and harry, charge in and mutilate a foe. We rally our companions and demoralize our enemies. Our fury is legendary and our resolve is unshakable.
Just about every major horror visited upon Azeroth can be traced back to the arcane, the divine, or the fel. Warriors solve those problems. Our power isn’t conditional on some mysterious force, a malevolent deal made with devils, or the supposed beneficence of some god. Our power comes from within. The closest thing to a god we do care about is a giant metal guy with an infinite meadhall in the sky.
Oh, and plate armor looks good.

For me it’s for the mogs. Holding two, two-handed weapons is sick

And to that point, how often is the “sword” part of sword and sorcery the bad guy? Not even close to how often it’s the creepy misanthropic guy in a bathrobe who shoots fire from his hands, right?

And as warriors do, I acknowledge that we each have our moments, and yours, my friend, will be the glory on the next day.
Brotherhood! That’s a warrior’s way.

Why not? Just because it’s fantasy doesn’t mean something non-magical doesn’t have its place.
I just tried my very first warrior two days ago and WoW is it fun! Just the simple delight of smashing things around by sheer strength. No whistles or bells needed.
… oddly enough, I feel I am pushing buttons constantly (fury) unlike some of my other characters, which still surprises me. I’m kind of wondering how my wrist will like this in a few days lol

I mean you aren’t wrong. I am not creative. I’m very basic. I like to hit things very hard and I enjoy that the thing I hit typically dies.
There, changed it. >_<
Predictive text hates me.
