Since Hammer of Tanking is based on weapon damage, I get the feeling Blizzard just wants to create one line of tanking weapons for all three classes, but I'm on the fence on how it might work out if we lose our primary source of it.

You wouldn't want a warrior weapon and we wouldn't want yours either. Warriors want really fast weapons so we can dump rage as fast as possible through heroic strike. Paladins will want a really slow weapon for more damage from seal of righteousness, hammer of tanking, and reckoning. Basically, we steal rogue off-hands, you'll steal rogue main hands.
There's so much spelldamage on caster weapons that I'm not sure it'll be worth giving up for better white damage, seal of righteousness, reckoning, and hammer of tanking. We wont know until someone makes a spreadsheet and has some gear assumptions to work with.
