And with the recent changes to arena points in lower bracket, I don't feel so gimp that I can't really compete in 5v5s...

That being said, a few other things stood out for me:
How incredibly over represented warriors are.
Warriors dominating 5v5 is nothing new... but 2v2? Poor lil Warlock got knocked down a peg or two by some stormherald action it seems!
And they're only 1.3% away from top representation in 3v3 as well, so it's not like they suffer in that bracket either.
So yeah, Warriors who qq about mace stuns nerf and other pvp related nerf - if there ever was a more warranted nerf in WoW's history, I can't think of it.
Druids are doing ton better, especially in a smaller type of game, then they were last season.
It appears the power of a well played resto druid has made it's mark. They're certainly my less favorite healers to go against in 2v2.
They failed to make a dent in 5v5 however, probably not for lack of trying...
Hunters really suck!
Geez, talk about being a non-factor! Anybody who complain about their buffs and rumored one (MS shot, Deadzone reduction, etc), needs to get slapped! Those guys need help something fierce.
I mean, it's been known for a while, but after spending 2 seasons at the bottom of the barrel, it can't be argued that this is an adaptability problem - the class just has to many shortcoming.
3v3 is a lot more balanced then some may think.
Based on class representation anyway. Baring the Hunter class, there's a much smoother % curve in the 3v3 bracket then the 5v5...
