i dont think anyone having same items can tank an archer. Are you talking about kiling mobs or on pvp? Archer always do a lot more damage than other characters, but only with 3+5 combo,

They don't do 5-10x damage. They have 5-3 arrow shoots so it is Rx4 and warriors 60 skill damages Rx2.5+150. So that is not a big deal not eve 2x. And when it comes to PvP warriors have pretty huge armor and HP

Things change after 60, so don't be discouraged. Mastery changes the % variable which is applied to AP calculation, which means you will get more AP from STR and weapon AP. You will say that the same happens for rogues, but from what I remember, warrior has the highest % change for the ap calculation post-mastery.
Also, since you will put more points into HP, you will get tankier and have more mana for skills (skills which are really crappy under 60, imho).
At some point, the archer will have to kite you in order to kill you, since the skills used pre-60 are countered by high HP and def. However, powershot will hit like a truck pretty much all the time (unless it fails to hit which is QQ during cooldown).
PS: I am archer but I played warrior a lot in the past.
