1.Basics
Warrior is a great starting class for every starter out there.

The way I play warriors.

Horde - If your going to be a horde be a Tauren.Taurens are just made to be tanks :)
Alliance - And if your going to be an alliance be a Dwarf.With their stone form their pretty good tanks :)
//but taurens are still better//

For more threat take points out of anticipation and take either cruelty, puncture or focused rage.

3.Gear
From zero to hero.Thats what you need to learn.Think about gear after level 80.Thats when you need to focus on your items.
