when you think about it arena is much easier than the BG's. you can do your 10 games in about an hour maybe a little more.

Go for your weapon first, either thru arena or BG's.
Do the Alterac Valley until you have the head gear and the gloves, if you do the AV quest chains you can get a trinket that lets you teleport back to your base, which can be lots of fun to gank the side trying to kill your boss.
you can get the head gear and gloves from AV marks so just work A/V for a while.

I was going to get the boots and I need 40 eye of the storm tokens.
to get 40 eye of the storm tokens ( which alliance on my BG loose 95% of the time ) is really more or less 40 long battles and they are apx 30+ min long each.
you get some good BG love from others claiming it's your fault they lost ( although when I solo box the same BG I find alliance still looses 95% of the time ).

Per say you only get arena points once a week and you can farm eye of the storm until it's done.
