All classes have pro's and con's, it comes more down to what YOU prefer to play, than what's really best. Dps overall are (in similar gear) about even, but since both are melee you'll suffer a bit on movement fight's as usual, other than that its all good, lots of new fun content, new achievements, pvp-zones, and all that.
Warrior shines on mobility but thats nothing new, dk's atm are very good at AoE, both tanking and dps'ing if im not being lied to.
Skill + gear = Good dps.
Skill + gear = Good tank.
Play what you enjoy, dont have other ppl tell you what you enjoy.

I've been a warrior tank since vanilla, and I've tanked the higher level raids throughout all expansions, and I have to say that I really enjoy the sweet spot warriors are in right now, as tanks.
It's not as ridiculously easy as it was in WotLK, where threat was pretty much not an issue at all, it's not too difficult either. You actually have to work to get the threat, but not so hard it stresses you out and dungeons and raids start feeling like a chore.
The implementation of mastery and some of the new talents has also made it more varied to tank these days. There is obviously a base spec of talents you're going to need, but there's also a lot of free room for choices you can make for yourself to maybe have more fun, or tank in a way that suits you and the people you play with better.
Now, I only tanked on a DK up 'till Ulduar, so I can't really say much about DKs at the later time of WotLK, and I haven't played a DK in Cata at all. Personally, I'm just more of a warrior type, and so I play the class that I just like the feel of, regardless if we're worse or better off than DKs atm.
I'd have to say you should just play what you wanna play. Of course, playing a class that's horribly underpowered and thus don't have the same privileges as a class that's actually functioning properly, but you should just play whatever you think is more fun!
