Well first of all, there are two factors that play a large role in leveling fast.
Survivability:
The ability to stay alive long enough to finnish the fight, being able to take on a few mobs at a time, and being able to get to the next mob with minimal break time.
DPS:
Being able to kill a mob fast, and move onto the next
A tank excels at survivability, while DPS warriors have an upper hand in DPS. The trick is to become a mixed warrior for the sake of leveling (As I have done).
With enough vitality and strength, you will be able to take quite a bit of damage, and be able to kill fast enough to kill 2-3 mobs at a time before your health reaches 0. With the right balance of survivability and DPS, you can potentialy train for hours with little or no major recovery breaks (Assuming you attack one thing at a time and watch out for level differences).
One stat that is not required but should not be underestimated is dexterity. Not many people see the use for this, but I find that it helps alot. Extra attack means a better chance at hitting rather than missing which increases DPS. More defense means more survivability via dodge and block. Even when putting points into this stat, it may seem like a waste at first. But stick with it for a while then restat to get rid of it. You may find that it has helped alot more than you thought it did.
I have a stat ratio of 2:1:2 (STR/DEX/VIT) as of May 24, 2012 (Before update 3).
