if you guys have any specific strats or suggestions for facing som eof these cleave teams, or tips for certain arena's that would help alot.

Personally shadowfury seems to really kick my ass, along with a 3's combo of ret / ret + healer (usualy priest). I don't know what days your playing bg's either, I takes me 5-10 minutes to get into a 5v5 match and then once im there Im fighting some retarded team. Last week I did 5 matches against a team with 2200 MMR. So it was like a 0 rating vs. 2200 hows this crap happen lol.
