since when did warriors become sidekicks and stopped being tanks? when
did druids stop becoming off-tanks/backup heals to become full time
aggro tanks?

The idea now is every tanking-capable class can be a proper tank. Every
healing-capable class can be a proper healer. Been like that since TBC,
and even more so now, those classes which were lacking compared to the
others were given extra skills to help so all are considered roughly
equal. Seems lots of warriors don't like to tank which is why you see
them dps instead while another class tanks ;-)
