Yes I can stay in bear form to avoid mana burn/drain mana, but as soon as I come out to heal all my mana can be drained in the duration of 1 fear. This seems to be the most ridiculously overpowered tactic I have come across in 2v2 arena, and we can't figure out what on earth to do.

Just as a bit of a background I run a 2180 rated 2s team with a resto druid as my partner. This is probably one of the easier matchups for us, simply have your warrior focus the priest. You won't need to heal the warrior much beyond hots for the first few seconds of the fight which is enough to force the priest into defensive healing and so he usually won't be able to mana burn you.
Fears on you are no big deal versus a drain lock as they have little to no burst. Your warrior should only need help from you once to kill the priest, pummel->feral charge-> pummel should easily get the priest in kill range. Some priests are shifty characters and will try to mana burn or mind control to force an interrupt burn so make sure your warrior doesn't pummel the mana burn just save it for the heals, you won't need too much mana for this matchup anyway as it is usually over quickly.
