A) Should've thirsted immediately after the ambush, not later on when it was too late.
B) Shield cleave, for the love of god... if you still have it at 69% or something, practice it up. If you cleave his shield, suddenly he becomes a punching bag.
C) As noted, dirting the archon should've come between thirst and shield cleave.
Other possibilities:
D) He was snared... depending on whether you had to walk a ways to reach him, or whether you were right there, you could've taken out his elemental easily before engaging.
E) As stacked as you were, it's a crime not to have a source of some basic resists. Your means of "preparation" are limited as a Rager, so you need to capitalize on any and all that are available to you. If my weak-ass arial Rager could find room for a troll hide and such (no fur coat needed in your case, obviously), you can too.
