Ignore people's advice on "don't make a Fire Warrior!". It's not quite as bad as what others are saying, they are just stuck in thier PvX mindset (I recommend not looking at that site for along time, else you might turn into the type of player that isn't nice to know, isn't really any good at the game, and whom never truly learns the game or it's mechanics - you only learn that and exactly how to apply that to your gameplay in all situations by finding out for yourself.).
Play what you want to play, for fun. Pretty much everything works in normal mode PvE. It's only when you come to the hard mode PvE stuff or PvP that it'll begin to matter. Have as much fun doing just what you want to do until then, and ignore the scrubs.
Incidentally, even in hard mode PvE or PvP, certain Warrior/Elementalist builds are very valid and powerful. If you want to focus on Fire, Conjure Flame alone to increase the damage of a Fiery-modded Warrior weapon is perfectly valid and viable. If you are willing to look into other Elementalist lines, Air Magic has always been popular for Shock and more recently Gust on Warriors. Historically Earth Magic has been used effectively for Hammer Knockdown/Aftershock and was meta at the time, aswell as the Obsidian Tank build that was once popular and effective in high-end PvE, and there is also valid applications for Water Magic in some areas in PvE (Frigid Armour for the final fight in EotN comes to mind).
So yeah, ignore Frangeo Munda/Zenzai/Markaedw and play what you want to play for now. Games are about fun anyway, and for the most part you'll be playing on your own anyhow with the age the game is now (considering most players have moved onto other games, are waiting for Guild Wars 2, or still play this but are only doing the Hard Mode High-End stuff).
Just remember that if you do start grouping, as a new player to the game, and particularly as a Warrior, you're likely to get alot of hate no matter what you do. Try not to let it get to you. Warrior discrimination has existed since the game's release, whether warranted or not in a situation, certain people have a tendancy to blame failures on the Warrior (or the Monk), when oft the problem is really them. Talk to somebody a bit and you should soon be able to figure out if it's the type of person's who you should listen too, and the type of person whom you should just ignore, though. The good players will advice you in ways to make what you want to do work as best as it can, the bad players will instead just point you to PvX or attempt to force feed you an entirely different build (that can often be far less optimal that what you might have already had!).
