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

Description
The grand melee is the most important of the tournament's competitions. The people of the Exodar are looking forward to seeing us win the melee. To that end, they've been honing their skills against the valiants representing the other Alliance capitals. I suggest you do the same. Go to the stables outside the pavilion, equip your lance, mount the stabled Azuremyst elekk, and challenge the valiants. They wait in the Alliance Valiants' Ring just outside our tent.
