He didn't even had a 5v5 team, but anyways, I see all of you veteran multiboxers are like "Shyt im low in 1700-1800 rating " so that should be the true - assuming one is geared- and that's all.
For solely PVP, I feel 5 toons has no advantage, and 4 is completely sufficient (I used to be a 5boxer, dropped 1 account and never looked back). 5 can start to be a pain because you'll have to musical chairs your toons for arena, which can jumble the personal ratings a bit.

Back to arena talk, Gear is step #1 yes, but please don't get into arena boxing thinking its a free 2k team. Too high of expectations will lead to disappointment and burnout. Success above 1800 takes great setup/macros, a great partner, and mostly - SHIT TONS of practice (I've been playing since season2). Keep pursuing any gear upgrades you can get, as that is the TIME limiting factor, but poor playstyle will hold you back even worse than gear.

Its not impossible obviously - but it takes a tireless commitment, tons of patience, and adjustments. If you find yourself beating your head against the wall, CHANGE something up. Keep in mind you are 80% of the team... so every little tweak can bring about BIG increases in success.
