Elemental Shaman vs. Warriors (and rogues)

This is not a rant or complaint, although a toxic paladin told me I am the worst player they have ever seen, after I lost water cart in Silvershard to a DK that kept interrupting everything I tried to do (so much fun when they can heal and I can’t).

Anyway, what I want to ask is; HOW (please give detailed, step-by-step advice) is elemental shaman supposed to handle a warrior (rogues are the same, but a of course even worse, so I won’t mention them separately)?

It usually goes like this. A warrior jumps at me and stuns me, I try to push them away and use wolf form to escape. That never works, so I am again at the same situation. Lightning lasso works a few seconds, then they are at my buttocks again.

Ok, I try other CC… hex - interrupted. Stunned. Slowed. Can’t move, can’t escape, they keep punching me. I try to heal, interrupted, can’t heal, while they keep punching me.

I try to hex again when I am not-stunned again, but alas, they interrupt it AGAIN… and I am almost dead already, and used everything I had.

It’s not enough that horde wins every BG (out of 10, we won 2, yay…), we have to deal with toxic ally people that call me the WORST player they have ever seen (which can’t be true, since we won that BG partially because of me, I made it possible for us to kill a priest by my tactical totem placement, etc.) …

…but we also can’t ever win a single battle in the BG?

Every time there’s a warrior, and they stalk me, I can NEVER escape, I can never encounter anything they do, I can only try to CC them and then I am out of Cc, and then I die.

So what is the proper thing to do? HOW, with what steps, what spells, what abilities, and in what way, is Elemental Shaman able to dominate warriors, or even win against them?

How many interrupts do DKs have, by the way? With DKs, it’s almost the same thing, I can of course never even think of winning against a DK any more than a rogue, but I would like to beat at least something.

Thanks.

you want the ghost wolf talents, both of them and as many pack spirit traits as you can get your hand on, next you wanna specc lighting lasso and use it to maintain distance while you are ghost wolf kiting, 1v1 as a ele is 90% ghost wolf vs melee.

and frost shock, lots of frost shocks.

once you get used to that you’ll be able to win most 1v1 as ele

If its a Frost dk then they do have a bag of tricks…
The PvP talents offer them more advantage.
