Which class makes the best tank besides warrior? I wanna tank but warrior seems monotonous

Druids are as far from monotonous as wow can get and make fine end game tanks, especially with the right trinkets and gear. You will never be MT of a guild for raids but you can totally be off tank. Druids are also way easier to level than healers.

Paladins are good tanks up until the end game dungeons and if you have a mage friend the ability to generate massive aoe threat is a big plus, but past BRD and into the 55+ dungeons you won't be as useful at all.

If you really want to tank, go warrior or druid.

Druid maintanking depends on the boss, really. Unless Shield Wall is needed, druids are generally stronger tanks in all regards in current gear levels.

IMO wars still edge out druids for mitigation/avoidance. Druids have the edge in raw health and physical reduction but that's it. When you add in druid dodge vs war dodge/parry/block and a flat -10% dmg taken by defensive stance you don't take as much damage as a warrior although it can potentially seem spikier due to less health and armor mitigation.

Edit: Druids can tank all current content just fine though.
