We play warrior/druid in 2v2 and have an embarassingly high loss percentage against double melee DPS teams. If I pop out early to heal they pound me and with one stunning and the other hurting I have a hard time staying alive. If I pop out late the warrior dies.

Are there any special tricks to beating those teams (other than rerolling pally) that may not be obvious? After the last loss to such a team we sat down and refined our strategies (we didn't really have any before since those teams are rare) but I would like to make sure we got everything before we go up against such a team again.

Try moving (in stealth) to the side of the arena where you still have LoS on your warrior. Utilize cyclone and root often and instruct your warrior partner to move around when you have root in place.

Initial position is key here. If you can surprise them with a cyclone, you're pretty much guaranteed the win. Once they see you, they'll be all over you. Proceed to kite and let your partner pick them off.

Double melee you should rape pretty hard. Use Cyclone constantly, I'd say use it twice on someone then root them. A rogue will cloak out of roots or imp sprint, once his CDs are used up just root him and ignore him, put FF up on him so he can't vanish out of roots once he uses cloak.

Keep abolish poison on warrior for rogues + your hots. If you get attacked bear form bash cyclone root run away. Seriously tho, root and cyclone and watch as your warrior rips the other person apart.

If you get caught, coordinate using intimidating shout with travel form / cat+dash (assuming you're in bear if they managed to get to you). They'll probably wotf / trinket out of fear but you'll have time to get some distance and hot up. Bash isnt too reliable (at least against rogues).

Also I'd have points in Feral Instinct instead of Thick Hide. I'm running dual rogue setup on rogue (casual and inactive team tho); If we see a warrior+stealthed we try to find druid before stealth crystals pop and we usually find him if he doesnt have Feral Instinct.
