I am playing atm waiting to see what Blizzard will do to correct the situation. In the meantime, I'm not going to take arenas very seriously as long as the current dynamic exists, where the classes with burst dps + outs are dominating (Rogues, Paladins, DKs, and Mages).

Here is an example of what one priest ran up against in arena:

Keep in mind 2 things:
1) that first death was in the previous arena match... they got the same team again
2) the priest has over 900 resilience

If you look closely, counting the shield absorption, that's over 24k damage in 2 seconds.

Yes, they both use a significant cooldown to do that kind of damage.
Yes, 24k in 2 seconds is not typical of every class combination.
However, it is indicative of what types of things people have to deal with in arena. If you don't have some form of immunity, you're absolute TOAST to certain teams.
