As a Warrior, you will find that gear is of the utmost importance, and having the right gear can make a world of difference. A well-geared Warrior can be more powerful than a poorly geared Warrior one or two levels higher.
As a Warrior, your primary statistic will probably be stamina, although Warriors who aim to deal large amounts of damage will focus on strength. Agility generally comes as secondary for either role, although when soloing, it could certainly be considered the most important, as it provides both damage, in the form of +crit %, and mitigation, in the form of +dodge%.
To make it simple, stamina provides 10 health per point, strength provides 2 attack power per point (14 attack power = +1 DPS [white damage]), and 20 agility, at level 60, provides +1% to dodge, +1% to crit, and 40 armor.
While browsing through the Auction House and paying attention to the trade channel is an effective way of obtaining good equipment, the best way to equip yourself is to do instances, large dungeons placed throughout the world. The bosses in these instances drop blue items, and while you may not get something of use every instance run, you will usually get something useful. An instance is done usually with five people. While leveling, it is best to use a combination of bought gear, found gear, crafted gear, and gear found in instances. In the "end-game," your gear will mostly be gear found in instances, with some crafted gear.
Stats
Warrior stats will depend on the role you want to play in a group.
Regardless of which role you want to take, Stamina is your number one stat. Stamina increases your health points. Both tanking warriors and dps warriors can use a high amount of health. Many raiding guilds will look at a warrior's stamina when deciding eligibility for entrance to their guild.
Agility and Strength are secondary to Stamina. Agility will increase your armor and your critical hit chance, making it a useful stat for warriors who are planning on tanking. Strength increases your attack power and block chance, making it most useful for dps warriors.
Effects
When you begin to find gear specialized to the role you are wanting to play, you will look more at your effects than you will your stats.
A tanking warrior will want a high hit rating and a high defense rating. You want to be able to keep your enemy's attention on you and to sustain as much damage as possible from the enemy. Effects that increase the block rating of your shield will help as well. Speed in a one-handed weapon is also useful. The speed is to help you hit faster, therefore generate rage faster.
A dps warrior will want an increased critical strike rating. If you are using a two-handed weapon, hit rating will be useful as well. This enables you to have a higher chance to land hits with your weapon and to do a lot of damage with each hit.
For a dual-wielding dps warrior, attack power and an increased critical strike rating are most helpful. This allows you to do as much damage as possible with every hit.
