Honestly, as someone who tanked as a WAR for the majority of my tanking career and is just now gearing up a PLD, I find that I actually prefer to play PLD. It all comes down to personal styles, so giving WAR a try might benefit you. I can tell you that it's tremendously satisfying to be this large, axe-wielding mass of metal and flesh screaming, "Shield? I need no shield! HWAAAAAARGHLBRGHL (Schwarzenegger yell)" as you charge the enemy. If that sounds appealing, then I say go for it.
Beyond that, it's good to mix it up a little. Tanking encounter after encounter can be quite draining. I see on your lodestone that you've leveled Lancer a bit. It gets particularly fun after you unlock the Dragoon abilities, and I personally find that having an off-class helps to keep things fresh.
