I believe the reason we won the first one was because it was in lordaeron and they got separated on opposite sides of the tomb trying to avoid sap, I cycloned and rooted the priest long enough that you were able to get the mage low on HP and force an early iceblock before the priest could get to him. We really won that match due to the element of surprise, if nothing else. The second one was also in lordaeron if I recall, and the easily passable LoS block offered by the tomb really prevented the priest from effectively drinking or mana burning me. We had less of a surprise on this one, since they knew what team to expect, but we still killed them because it was possible to prevent the spam drinking.
Nagrand, on the other hand, was a completely different beast. The pillars there offer a lot of protection for LoS drinking, and ever since they removed the tornados, matches in that arena seem to get dragged out the longest. I'm not sure why they took the twisters out, I thought it added a nice unique touch to that arena.

Yes, normally I treat losses as a "learning experience", but 39 minutes is a really freaking long lesson.
