Blizzard post in its English Forum a piece of news which said, there are problems in PvP in Arena
"We're not removing Arena from the game. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but many players do. We don't ignore many comments on these boards, but "They should just remove Arena / PvP from the game" is not a helpful suggestion. Things that would make PvP more fun for you or things that would keep PvP balance from intruding into your PvE are more useful.
I'll be very brief, but here are the problems we see in PvP right now.
1) Too much emphasis on Arenas and not enough on BGs.
2) Too much emphasis on 2s and not enough on 3s and 5s.
3) Not enough class / spec representation in Arena. Warlock, hunter and shaman numbers in particular are too low, but they're not the only ones.
4) Too fast-paced.
Let me explain this last one in more detail. Some people in the community think that burst DPS is too high. We disagree, and the reason we do is that healing is also very powerful in Arenas, to the point at which not having a Mortal Strike debuff may be a huge liability. If you can't burst someone down when wounded, they just aren't going to die unless the healer is mana drained or chain crowd-controlled, neither of which are overly fun in the extreme case. You can have too much damage, too much healing or too much crowd control.
But when you consider specific matches, particularly of the highest rated teams, those guys are using their full toolbox. The problem is that the windows in which to use those tools can be very small. When you are injured, you might have a global cooldown in which to respond. If you make it, you might very well be fully healed in the next cooldown and reset the match. If you fail, you're dead and the match may be over. We'd like to add an extra GCD or two to many of these situations.
If the case is that there still are extreme of burst in some specs that need to be chilled not. However, if we just lower burst damage across the board we are concerned people just would not ever die and only specs with multiple forms of crowd control would be considered viable.
