How do i Avoid "Convoke the Spirits" as a Warrior?

Not sure if this is the right sub-forum, but still:

Not a “nerf” topic, just want some tips.

Some people says Convoke is overtuned, as there is people says it is “Ok”.

I do not have a valid opinion about it yet since im not a “pro-player”, but im struggling against Balance convoke.

As a Warrior trying to 2v2 arena, i just get “deleted” by any druid who pops out stealth at max range and cast Convoke. Even if i Spell reflect, sometimes i get bursted to ashes. If i throw my “Storm Bolt” stun, i still dies cuz the Stun projectile is too slow.

Sometimes i manages to run behind a pillar to LoS the druid, but 90% i just get killed with no reaction time.

Again, its not a “Nerf” topic, just want some tips.

Said that, what else can i do?


EDIT
So, based on the answers so far:

I need to press all my Defensive CD’s, have perfect timing and reflexes, complex macros and god-like Team-work, all these things in less than one seconds…

To counter a simple “one-button only” skill?

Basically don’t use any CC/Interrupt on anything else until convoke comes up

Cuz Convoke is fine -Druids

As a Warrior, a Storm bolt can shut it down. Problem is, the time it takes to target and travel time of the stun, the RNG may have already done big damage. Depends on what triggers in the cast first, was it a moon fire or a full moon?

Probably trinket (if stunned), then either leap to LoS, or leap on druid and interrupt/fear.

druid convoke is dum
stealth
root/aoe silence
by time u trink root and step out of silence to cast already hit by two ful lconvoke full moons

Find the nearest cliff and heroic leap to it. Then Heroic fall off.

To everyone who said to leap/charge/stun the druid:

Already tried that.

If i leap, i dies mid-air.
If i charge, i dies while charging, mid-way
If i throw Storm Bolt, the stun projectile travel time is too slow, i dies befores the stuns reachs the druid.

The druid casts convoke at max range after getting out stealth, sometimes i don’t have reaction even to “think” about what to do, its literally less than one second and i am dead.

As i said, sometimes i manages avoid it running behind some pilar if the RNG gods favors me, but its rare.

yeah its dumb

What is your HP and Vers %? You shouldn’t die in 1 sec. When I pvp on my monk I trinket/port convoke and take almost 0 damage.

31k hp / 25% vers, still working on it.

Yeah, i can’t port as a warrior hehe, the only thing i think i could do is to intercept my team-mate to out-range the druid, but still.

Defensive Stance kept on at all times.

Save Avatar to break Entangling Roots.

Spell Reflect, Ignore Pain (both off GCD IRC), Heroic Leap into intimidating Shout/Pummel.

You can try to pre cast Die by the Sword for even more DR if you really need it.

By the time you’ve pulled this off, either you or your healer are dead.

GG, “balance”.

And if they have a Holy Pally, and you don’t, you’ve already lost.

Or you messed up the crucial 8 second lockdown.

You’ve already lost.

Then how do i survive against the druid’s Team-mate, if he’s running double-dps? hahaha

Nah you have a couple seconds if you instantly trinket/defensive. You should always be ready when you see a moonkin on the other team. You know it’s coming.

We call these people “Druids”.
