Might be a little late on the advice here, but I have a W/Mo and this area is the worst in my opinion, it gets easier after this. If I remember what you asked, yes 50-level armor for a Warrior is the highest for this area, you won't find better until later on. I would also take a trip to the rune trader and get absorbtion runes on every piece but the helm, throw a vigor rune on that. Make sure one piece of armor has the special (non-stacking mod) "reduces damage from attacks", probably your main body armor (I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I've heard that piece of armor takes most of the direct damage? Someone might correct me on that).
With that setup and a decent enough shield I did fine and can tank really well. Also, if anyone hasn't told you, make sure you have Mending up, and later on upgrade that to Watchful Spirit if you want. Good Luck.
EDIT: I believe I was around Lvl 13 here, any less and that would also account for problems.

Skill trainers happen to sell any skill that you have unlocked on the account, and you can unlock ANY skill in the game by spending faction at a priest of Balthazar. So if you want your low level RP character to get a specific skill (like Berserker Stance) make a PVP char, win some fights until you get the faction, use the faction to unlock the skill, then buy the skill from a trainer on your RP character! The only trick is, it's hard to win PVP if you don't have very good skills in the first place |

Most of the time, people will set up with knights or ascalon boots or gloves then a higher armor level on the chest and legs (since they have a higher percentage to get hit) then a helm of their weapon type +1 with a rune of the similar type on the helm. A vigor rune on any piece (I put mine on my legs I think) and an absorption rune on another (I put mine on my chest, but it doesn't matter which piece it is on).

Don't worry about XP and drops, you get plenty of XP from quests and missions, I've never had a problem with being underleveled in this game, and i just fill up on henchies or humans for every mission/quest and kill the bare minimum to get by, since i'm lazy.
also, the drops aren't worth it in this point of the game. Unless your unlocking mods for PvP, that's another story, but until you hit the Crystal Desert, drops are pretty worthless.
