Can a d/d or s/d build beat a good Warrior?
Those builds “can” kill a warrior it’s just not as great on their own. D/p mixed with sb is your best bet because A) the poison uptime is what you will want to hinder HS, and B.) BPS + whirling axe really puts a dent in them.
D/d’s has the issue against GS where the warrior can just dash or ww away after a cnd and waste your chance at a BS, or if they have hammer AoE cc near them which either forces you to dodge and possibly waste time setting up a BS or get cc and same thing.
S/D can put a dent in them for sure especially if you snag their stability or might stacks but with no uptime on poison you will have to play rather aggressively to take them down which is something the warrior will beat you at if they’re “good”.
In pvp I’ll keep d/p on for warriors mainly for the bps+whirling axes combo unless they pop berserker stance in which case I sit back and kite them. If I run d/d or s/d I will rarely go after them unless they are running something like condi or something slow.

I don’t play D/D so I can’t help you much there, but I do play S/D a lot. Against really good ones, I find myself using the SB a lot and try presure them with poison. Kiting them around if they’re in GS ([i]or trying to keep him guessing of my location using SB #5), I try to bait the cooldowns if possible, or I try bait him into risking a bit more before charging in with S/D to get some quick burst off.
S/D also gives a lot of room to dodge their hard hits and an easy point of returning and getting rid of that Burn Condi.
It’s always a really long fight against a good Warrior, but it’s doable.
