    Default Best approach for arena?

    Obviously it is quite a while after the start of the season.

    I've decided to start going for Conquest points on the Pally/DK's team.
    Unfortunately, it's not that easy to get wins.

    My DK's are mid 2.6k resiliency and 108k health unbuffed.
    They are pvp hit capped and have 220 spell penetration between 3 blue gems and the cloak enchant.
    They're missing four pieces of honor gear, so that will add a little to them still.
    They're using iLV 318 2H Axes.

    My Pally is barely over 3k resiliency, and has 112k health unbuffed.
    She has prioritized Spirit and Haste.
    She has a 325 Mace and the 359 (AH) Shield.
    There are three more pieces of honor gear available.

    Running 5's hasn't been that successful.
    Queues are over 5 minutes a game, on the weekend when theoretically more people are playing.
    Even using Anti-Magic, for a sustained opener on the first target and using the HB-FS-NS-BS, two healers (each team so far has been 2 Healers + 3 DPS) easily outheal my DPS.
    Not even close to killing even one opponent yet.

    Running 2's... figured that would be easier.
    Haven't done much of this, as teams disband after two games or so, without a win.
    The Pally (with a 3k res Warrior) lost their two games.
    The DK (with a 3.3k res Resto Shammy) lost a game, and the Shammy said the DPS was very low.

    What's the answer?
    Just continue to plug away, and eventually my rating will tank to the point where I'll play equally shitty opponents?
    Or say screw arena, and just get Honor capped for the end of the season... which will let me buy weapons on Day 1...
    And do an honor grind again, for Conquest gear... but at the most be one week behind others in gearing?

    Any suggestions?
