Very good guide. But I have found a grave error.

I'd say both dwarfs are superior to Fiery Aura Tanks, simply because fiery aura sucks.

It's actually very funny. Fix it please. It's obviously we don't have a 'real' tier 9, but I don't think you've seen a 'Golden Age' Fire Tank perform.
*EDIT* I felt like my post yesterday was kind of different than how I meant to show my opinion. I have fully slotted Dwarf before in a deleted toon, as well as the powers associated, but you are right that Dwarf will have more defense, but it is by no means better. This is because Fiery Aura has more powers, a better heal, consume, and burn although most people (including me) don't use it. Additionally, along with any secondary, there is psynergy, because Fire is meant to take things out faster than the others.
Fire: Fiery Embrace, addition DoT damage
Ice: Ice Patch+Burn
Stone: Powerful
SS: Rage and Powerful
Mace: Not familiar with this powerset
Axe: Powerful and Knockdowns
