Perhaps it's doable, but a Feral Druid in full DPS gear does about 2500 TPS steady whilst doing 1000 DPS. I'm not quite sure what a Warrior can do, but on our first kill our Dual Warglaive Warrior was 5k threat behind on the Druid by execute spamming with Recklessness.

A protection warrior in DPS gear will do great damage and threat. Our DPS can't come close to catching up and they do not hold back in phase 1. My stats from a near-kill shot (we finally got him last night, WWS not up)
- 2460 TPS (
Link)
- 1436 DPS (
Link)
- 16% damage mitigation from defensive stance
- Improved Solarian's battle shout for melee
- Maintains sunder armor
- 16k HP buffed with 4% DOT damage reduction from pvp gear
- Last stand & shield wall lifesavers
- Eats the majority of knockbacks instead of rogues
If your numbers are correct, it sounds like a feral will put out similar TPS but less DPS. From this point it's just a matter of buffs/debuffs. Do you need your tank to provide LOTP/FF or Bshout/Sunder?
Additionally, I would suggest placing the tank in the center of your raid and have nobody standing behind him. This serves two purposes:
1) When the tank is knocked back, he will not share/eat fire bloom
2) If you make this "empty" spot the designated shield orb safe zone, you are unlikely to have Armageddon landing there during the bombs
