This is definitely the worst situation for you. If you simply play defensively, healing yourself, you'll almost certainly lose the mana war versus a druid that can sit at 40 yards and heal without having to worry about form shifting.
Dragging the warrior behind a pillar will force the druid to move, and with sufficient pressure he'll have to take the quickest route to his warrior, which places him very close to scream range.
Where this isn't possible, you can help burn the warrior, purging hots/abolish and slipping in SWP, MB, SW
, to force the druid to do more than simply HoT heal. If he chooses to CC, he'll be more vulnerable.
It stands to reason that combining these is the best of all possible worlds. Drag the warrior behind a pillar, purge him clean, and unload with damage.
A well played team can counter these by having their warrior play defensively while the druid re-positions properly, but that doesn't happen at lower ratings, and the lessened damage output/reset from an intervene gives you time to drink/heal up/ move for mana burns and generally take some control back.
