Assuming equivalent gear and skill:
If they can kite you (mages, hunters), you'll lose.
If they have heals (Priests, Paladins, Shamans, Druids), you'll lose or fail to kill them.
If they're a melee class whose attacks ignore armor (Feral Druids, Death Knights, Ret Paladins, Enhancement Shamans), you'll lose.
Here is a list of the class/spec combinations I can handily defeat on my backwater roleplaying server (not a lot of skilled players. Myself among them).
Hunters (spec doesn't matter).
Warlocks (spec doesn't matter).
Priests (spec doesn't matter. Much easier to deal with a Holy Priest than a Disc Priest).
Balance Druids
Arcane Mages
Restoration Shaman
Restoration Druids
I can sometimes beat a Rogue. The few that are 1.8k+ rating are usually better players, the one that's at 2.2k+ is a monster I can't beat.
I can sometimes beat a Feral Druid if they don't know what they're doing.
Personally, I feel like damage is fine. I consistently pull top DPS in the BGs I play, and in the arenas I wind. Occasionally I lose the arena but still did more damage. Honestly not sure where this idea Warrior damage is low is coming from.
TL;DR, Warriors blow in 1v1, if we can't make the fight end quickly we won't score a victory. And PvP isn't balanced around 1v1 so it's not going to change. Also damage is fine.
