So I got a great 2v2 partner about three days ago, last night was our first night together. We went 12-4, losing only yo 3 war/paly teams, and one was the second game we played and we were not paying attention.
Let me say we coasted to 1600. Coasted. We split dps, solo'd our own target, weren't using healthstones, etc. I think we won something like 8 in a row, only losing to a war/paly then winning a few more. Even against teams in 1600, we beat easily. Our only weakness seems to be War/Paly and when we hit one, we lose a lot of rating. Everything else while getting to 1650 was easy.
Now, we went against a lot of combinations last night.
Druid/Lock
Frost mage/rogue
Frost mage/Spriest
Fire mage/Lock
War/Resto shaman
Elem shaman/Lock
All those teams we beat, and some we beat 2 times or so. Most the time very easily.
The ONLY matchup that is giving us trouble, is War/Paly.
We went against about 5-6 of these teams (2 were Gib teams *wave 40 rating*), we lost to all but one, and that one I died and my partner made it out with 78 health finishing off the warrior. We would of won against two, (had the warrior LOS to 4%) but at the last moment he got a BOP.
I run Wound/Crip, use Garrote. Sometimes I can get a sap off on the pally, which helps, and the second it wears off I run over for the Blind. This usually forces a bubble. Problem is, by the time that bubble is over, one of us is dead, or close to it.
I never have problems 1v1 with a Warrior. Regardless of the gear. Only when they vastly outgear me (3/5+ S2, T3 BS) do they start beating me.
We have tried to dps the pally, switch to warrior, back to pally. We tried the opposite, getting on warrior trying to LOS, etc. We tried split dps. My teamate has a rough time with warriors. They usually beat him, or get him to the point it takes one instant cast from the pally to finish him.

Now, I am somewhat of the lesser geared, but I make up for it and am definately not a bad player. He is geared very nice, should be getting 400 resil by end of week.
Our rating we left off last night at 1650, approximtely 18-6 or something close to that from last night. We lost anywhere from 60-100 points from the 6 loses (4-5 from a war/paly). Two of the loses were gib'd 18-21 point lose, although they weren't even that geared (2-3/5 S2 each).
I won't take no for an answer against this combo, so any advice/help/insight you have will be taken to heart to study and figure out the best way to consistently beat this setup.
Sorry for the long post, and prepare to see this everywhere if you lurk a lot of forums. I want answers! :)
