Not a mace rogue but it was big bull anyway also made me wan to quit arena.

Also waiting for resilence to effect dot dmg as the unbalanced classes of druids/who can at a touch of button be dps/tank/ overtime heals is killing my arena spirit and also the shaman dps/lesser healing wave and dps priests/the become healers is really getting me down.
I'm not sure you've got the right idea about arena though. Well, Warriors and Rogues are not getting a damage nerf, it's the stun proc from mace spec and (Thunder / Deep Thunder / Stormherald) that is getting nerfed, so stuns have a smaller chance to proc. And yes, Rogues are Warrior's bitches on a kite.

And there is no way in hell that you can call Druids an imbalanced class (I play one, by the way), people just think that all druids have the 61/61/61 spec. The reality is that:
a) Balance spec delivers decent burst, has high armor, but has no utility. Can heal a little, which makes you go oom very, very fast (Moonkins have extremely low mana-efficiency).
b) Feral. Feral arena utility in a nutshell: "Capable of delivering high amounts of non-lethal damage". In fact, Ferals have a difficult time killing anything but rogues, and a rogue with the right spec is a massive issue for a Feral (Mutilate spec is a pain). No, a Feral practically cannot heal (2-3 Healing Touches and you'll be hurting for mana).
c) Resto. Resto is arguably one of the best healers in the 2v2 bracket (I hit 1800 rating without a single piece of PvP gear) because of instant cast HoTs, however Resto PvP gear is close to laughable. My current PvE Healing chest (I raid as resto) has more +healing than the entire S2 unsocketed. Also, Resto druids are the squishiest healers in the game (Pallys have bubble, plate armor, shield, Stun, Priests have their own bubble, AoE fear, need I mention Resto shamen? With their shields, mail, practically no spell interruption from damage). Resto Druids have Barkskin (12 sec every 2 minutes), Roots (laughable) and Bear form (effectively CC'ing yourself).

Resto druids make good healers for 2v2 because it's difficult for casters to nuke them down (a lock can kite me forever, but he cannot kill me, same for a mage and a shadow priest) but they are considerably weaker in melee than other healers (a warrior or a rogue on me = death). When we hit 1800 rating, I was playing with a MS warrior and we were up against another MS Warrior and a Frost Mage. They managed to nuke my Warrior down pretty fast, so I was left in 1v2 against the two (warr was on 20%, mage on 100%) and I managed to kill them both with Moonfire, rofl.

Anyway, who do you play arena with and in which bracket? If you have decent gear, I'd recommed you to try 2v2 with a Disc priest, Rogues go very well with those. I have a friend that does pretty well in arena (he seems to have dropped a lot now, but he was close to 2000 pts in all 3 bracets). Also, once of my old Counterstrike clan mates was #1 in all brackets for a while:
The Armory
He also went to one of those Blizzard organized LANs a while ago and did pretty decently.

By the way, which realm / server do you play on?
