Even with full epic PvP gear a warrior will lose to a shadow priest or even a Discipline priest. Bubbles will rage starve you and every point of HP he takes from you is gone forever whereas he can self heal with vamp embrace or instant self heals and renew.
Basically its a race, you have to kill him very very fast and get very lucky. Don't be afraid to blow cooldowns.
As was said earlier warriors are a weak one on one class. Things you read on the WoW forums about how over powered warrriors are will start to piss you off more and more as you are kited to death in one way or another by most of the classes in the game 1on1.
However, put heals and dispells to a warrior and he becomes an unstoppable death machine. ALWAYS protect your healer they are what make you strong.

Priests are hard for a warrior, but you should be able to overthrow one 6 levels lower than you... chances are he was a sort of a twink for his level: maybe he was full rare/epic, so don't worry too much! :) Don't use thunderclap or demoralizing shout on a priest. Just charge, hamstring and mortal strike him to death. Oh, and don't forget that with 2.3 patch now you have deathwish, so fear isn't a problem! ;) Try maybe to duel a priest of about your level/equipment to train against that class. I find hunters much more annoying than priests for a warrior... :(

Sounds as if you went up against a Shadow Priest. Honestly, unless you're level seventy, you shouldn't worry about losing in player-versus-player combat. It's not really "balanced" until the end, and even then it's not really
that
balanced.
As for a tactic, if you're dying for one;
1) Charge in, if you can, and toss up a Hamstring. (If you cannot Charge the target, use Bloodrage and Hamstring.)
2) Switch to Berserker Stance as fast as possible, or simply use Death Wish. This will make you immune to his or her fear, for the first thirty seconds of the fight.
3) Mortal Strike.
Do
not
use the following on a Priest, as it results in you looking like an idiot, having no rage, and dying;
- Rend.
- Demoralizing Shout
- Thunderclap
- Sunder Armor
Just swing at him, spam Mortal Strike, and every nine seconds, throw on Hamstring since it only lasts for ten seconds now. Don't let him kite you, and if he does get away, Intercept. (Although, at your level, I cannot recall if you have it yet. I think you
just
got Berserker Stance, or will be soon...)
Anyways, best of luck.
Also, whoever said they're the hardest class for a Warrior, you are wrong good sir. Frost Mage > Priest in the "bane of a Warrior" contest.

"I even shieded up to 5200 armor, dead in 5 seconds."
noone noticed that armor is mitigated by magical damage, so it only works with physical damage.
simply said: if he is "casting" (and not hiting with weapon) dmg at you, it doesnt matter how much armor u have.
edit:typo

Priests need to be kept close for you to damage, because any clothie will run from you. Hamstrings and Piercing Shout (Fury) should be spammed on them. Also use Beserker and Death Wish (Arms as of 2.3) to prevent them from hitting you with Psychic Scream. Use shield bash or pummel to keep them from casting spells (especially when they do holy, so that heals are unavailable). And lastly if you are low on health and they have more, use intimidating shout to stop them for a few seconds and use potions/bandages you can use.

shaodw priests are by far the best against a warrior. You have to have good timing and break their shield with MS or special hits so your white hits actually do damage to gain rage. Without rage you are nothing. spamming hamstring isn't too bad to do to get up flurry since you are low on rage.
