balanced stance is the key while enduring those first meteors. if you are on your back, you aren't fighting. Rangers have a much easier time since a drakescale ranger will have higher defense vs elemental attacks than you.

I'd suggest griffons/minotars over hydras for a warrior, but its not impossible. Once they go melee rather than meteor, its easy.

Skill Setup:
Hundred Blades | Galrath Slash | Balanced Stance | Bonetti's Defense | Healing Breeze | Mending | Live Vicariously | Balthazars Aura.

When doing griffons/minotars, i replace balanced with bezerkers as an opener, incase I don't have bonetti's ready.
Works well for me, but you can try whatever.

Look to a solo'ing build if you intend to pull/agro groups ( pleanty of fine sample constructions for W/Mo Solo's here on the boards ); bear in mind, as impressive as a solo build can be at expilating the field ( simply check out a few of the solo'ing videos posted here on the forums ), they are poor performers outside of their theater of operation. Grouped they fall, PvE or otherwise. Consider before you build... or maybe its build for consideration.
If you simply wanna build to PvE that can handle 3 or 4 foe in melee, then the suggestions made are right on the mark; lots of ways to do it though ; )

Try a search for something to the effect of ' farming video '...
Thou the video I just posted is a good W/Mo run to give you an idea of what can be done in a solo build. Bear in mind, I usually dont use dmg builds for solo'ing, but build to accommodate the foe basically killing themselves and keeping energy high.

PM me your email address, your mail provider will need to allow reception of files in excess of ~19MB. Otherwise I will need to post it on my servers, which I prefer not to broadcast. PM me and let me know...

W/Mo with a sword build for farming desert Hydra

Dolyak signet (key when dealing with the meteors)
Sever Artery
Gash
Galrath Slash
Final Thrust
Healing Breeze
Mending
Balthazar's Spirit (adrenaline and energy builder)

Healing Prayers -- 8
Smiting Prayers -- 3
Strength ------- 16
Swordsmanship -- 14

with high end runes you can solo like 8 to 10 hydra at a time

apply Balthazar's and Mending before engaging. you will have 0 energy gain, but upon fighting, the more you get hit, the more energy and adrenaline you will have. Very seldom do I die in the desert while soloing Hydra.
