Kagain has 16 STR, which is enough to supplement his Warrior THAC0. Tanks are more defensive than offensive anyway--most of the party's kills are going to come from the 5 guys in back, not the Tank in front. Besides, you are going to be taking Critical Hits no matter what your AC is, and I'd feel more comfortable with a Tank who can shrug of 9 Criticals in a row than with one who has to turn and run after 4.

Plus, there's that whole "Regenerate back to full health after sleeping or moving to a new map area" thing.
