Usually tomcat errors with Solr 4.3 happen due to uncopied logging libraries. I would check if installing Solr 4.2.1 works and/or copy additional libraries in (search mailing list for this issue).
However, I am not entirely sure that's the case here. It feels that perhaps the definition of the handler could be a bigger issue here. I assume you have an xml file somewhere that defines that /solr maps to solr.war. I would double check that. Maybe try to deploy something smaller and easier and see what the difference is.
