in a duel on a PVE server, or on a PVP server? L80, or on a lowbie PVP alt? both players fully raid geared?
duels do not use the proper PVP ruleset, and fight the same as if you were in the arena (i.e. not anything like actual PVP combat). certain classes become a lot more powerful in PVE arena/duels because their abilities arent crippled as much as they should be under the PVP ruleset.
also, you should fight some of the exiled wardens/templars/mystics in the raid guilds on Nagafen... we have probably the best raid geared templar WW in my guild, and when he mirror specs to his PvP (Steadfast/etc) spec he's an absolute beast in PvP. =) (now granted, I can usually still kill him, but it turns into a power drain fight.)
there's a big difference between dueling someone on a PVE server and fighting someone in actual PVP combat on a PVP server where they are used to having to fight for their own safety every time they leave town. brigands are naturally easy to 1v1 with, and even unexperienced PVE'ers can do well with them in 1v1 matches... many other classes do not fall into that pattern.
