Fellow priests of the dark side,
I call on you once again for your help. I'm relatively new to arena and have now got my resilience about 200. Here's my armory page:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Blackhand&n=Jeddius
Here's my questions. What pieces of gear should I be targeting next and how can I improve my gear? In two weeks I should have enough for my S3 Leggings. At that point I will have a full "set" of Gladiator gear-albeit mixed between S1 and S3.
Should I spend the honor on the Medallion of the Horde? I believe that has resilience too so it would be an upgrade from the Insignia of the Horde I have now.
What meta gem do I put in my headpiece?
How the hell do I beat a BM hunter? My gosh! He sicks his pet on me, I can't fear it and I'm toast.
Any help to these questions would be really appreciated, everyone on this board has always been very helpful in the past!!

Meh, armory is down for me atm. But with regards to your BM hunter question there's a really easy way of doing it. Firstly, line of sight the hunter and survive through besial wrath. Especially good if you're in bem arena or in lordaeron as you can jump under the ramp or off the central grave giving the pet a really long path to you. The main thing to remember about bestial wrath is that the hunter will be doing far more damage to you than his pet so ignore the pet and maintain 0 line of sight on the hunter. After that they're an easy kill.
Ok, so my PVE gear is now showing on the armory page. That puts a kink in my question to some extent. I did want to clarify what TheGreatMotha posted though. I'm not familiar with how the bestial wrath works...can somebody explain that. Is it a cool down ability? How can I tell when they use it?
Also when you say maintain 0 line of sight how am I casting my spells? Are you saying dot them and then hide behind pillars and what-not? Sorry for sounding noobish, but I'm still pretty new to the pvp world.

The better I get at arena, the less and less damage I do. This last week, I did about a fifth of the damage of my Combat Maces rogue partner in 3v3. My time was spent LoS'ing, CC'ing, dispelling, mana burning, and being a huge glowy target that says "attack me first." In other words, your damage output is about the last reason you're there.
Your only goal while Big Red is active is to survive, and that means getting the hell away from the hunter himself. LoS him so that neither of you can see the other, throw a DoT on him if you happen to have a second, use that time to dispel and keep shields up and just make sure you and your teammates survive. If he switches off you, use that second of time to DoT someone up, or preferably get off a mana burn or two.

No worries, should have explained more. BW is a 30+ point talent in the beast mastery tree. It is usually taken with the beast within. Basically it increases pet damage by 50% for 18 seconds and makes the pet immune to fear for 18 seconds. With the beast within talent it also adds 10% to the hunter's personal damage and makes them immune to fear also. This means that as a cloth wearing class you're not likely to survive this. Hence, you need to limit the amount of damage you take during those 18 seconds. The easiest way to do this is to shadow word pain the hunter and ve while you're running for cover. As I said before the hunter's damage is still going to be more substantial than that of his pet so despite not doing direct damage you're causing him more issues by wasting his cooldown.
