TheWoWDBGaurenteed way to win (assuming no disconects or unforseen glitches)
First off, forget the combo training you did, the comp is often faster cause of ping. Its very unreliable and often just gets you killed. If you try for it, the computer will just do it to you and you will be in a bad way
Start the fight with 3 stacks of Defense
Melee him till he moves to range
Charge his rear
melee till he moves to range again
Repete till victoryOnly refresh defense while in melee range, as it shares a cooldown with your ranged attacks, but not your melee. If its on CD when he moves to range, you will be combod and very likely lose

Don't be stupid (like me) and have 0 empty bag slots when doing this, or you will not be able to pick up the Mark of the Valiants.

Description
The grand melee is the most important of the tournament's competitions. The people of Ironforge are looking forward to hearing of our success. To that end, they've been honing their skills against the valiants representing the other Alliance capitals. I suggest you do the same. The valiants practice in the ring just outside our tent. Equip your lance, go to the stables outside the pavilion and mount the stabled Ironforge ram, then challenge other Alliance valiants.
