Basically speaking, in most parties you will be the tank (basically the guy who should get hit) and to do this role, you should use defensive stance and 1handed+shield, since with this setup you will take not only less damage, but also do more aggro, keeping the monsters on you. It is not uncommon for warriors to reduce the damage they get by 60%, doing so will help your healers having less to heal, and thus lasting longer.
When you solo, you need to do damage, since it will be no good being able to take many hits, if you do poor damage. For this warriors usually go dual wield or 2handed.
The first talents I would recommend are cruelty and parry, they will help you level faster, as you do more damage and receive less damage.
I would recommend you to read here a great guide to partying, which explains very good how WoW works http://www.phantasia4.com/ps/index.html
Notice that the role of a tank, which you will do mainly while partying, is a very important one. A tank is what makes a party, with no good tanking people will die and progress will go very slowly. An advice I can give you is think if you really will enjoy doing this, as I have known many a warrior that seems to dislike tanking, and are thus a bit frutrated with the game.
