The Tamron has been universally acknowledged as a great lens. The Tokina... If the AF performance the OP is describing can not be amended somehow, Tokina has another DOA lens on their hands, and it will be this way until there is a breakthrough in the AF department.
Let's not jump to conclusions. Like the OP said, maybe it was a bad copy. You can't draw any conclusions from one data point, and thanks to the OP for the post. Bottom line, if for whatever reason you want to get the lens, make certain it can easily be returned.

By the way, I got an early copy of the Tamron 24-70, and used with my 5D II that copy had inconsistent and slow auto focus. I chalk it up to an early production run.
