Unfortunately ur probably gonna face alot of teams that out gear u and it's not cuz of ur rating, it's just not enough low geared teams queing.

Just keep at it. It will get ALOT better once ur alittle geared and get more experience.

Lastly for arena questions, post in the pvp section. You'lll get alot more helpful responses.
I completely agree with Smokebum, after having just experienced it. He gave me the same advice.

My first two weeks of Arena were a total flop, I think I went 0-10 the first week and 2-8 the next. I had just dinged 80 though and had no gear. Currently wearing furious/relentless gear and all the wrathful offpieces/trinkets. Running 25,378 health and 1161 resilience, it.. really helps a lot.

Running 5v5, 4 boxed elemental shamans and a resto shaman(a separate person). We started to get serious about it on our third week when I finished getting starting gear, and we're currently sitting at just under 1600 rating. We plan to push/grind up to 1800 by the end of this week or the next. Where it's the end of the season, you will lose to teams that solely out gear you, which is a shame because it can be really demoralizing, especially if you're new to it.

Just keep at it. Keep getting gear and work on your play style by doing matches over and over. Learn how to face different comps, what to focus down first and it all will get better in time. It's worth the effort, doing Arenas and Battlegrounds this way is the most fun I've ever had on WoW.

Good luck.
