I've even come out on top in a lot of 1v2 situations when both of them had full health, dancing up and down building fury and keeping the health up with siphon life glyph, and there is really nothing they can do. Once you reach 700-800 fury, just pop all cooldowns and burn one of them down.
On top of the portal, we can also use carrion swarm to knock you down from the pillar. So it really is impossible for a melee to win on this map unless they have assistance of a ranged.

If it's any comfort, those two maps with four pillars are completely flat and incredibly much so in favor of a warrior with heroic leap + charges. Along with the undercity map.
