Basic Arena Tips:
A good arena team has to communicate.
Use macros to call out stratgy and specific actions so that your teammates know what is happening.
Healers should call out heals that are going out.
Mages should call out crowd control (CC) that is going out, (such as sheeping the other side.)
Call out CC that is coming in, damage taken, kill opportunities, as well as other important information.
Another important thing is to always know what's around you. You should know where to line-of-sight your enemies, and know where they can line-of-sight you. You want to know where your enemies and teammates are at all times. Right clicking a portrait and using the raid symbols can often be a huge help to track movement. For example, put a star on your partner(s) and a skull on the opposition.
Advanced Arena Tips:
You must find a perfect balance between doing damage, being aware of your surroundings, and not getting tunnel vision. If you focus on just one person to kill, CC, or heal, you often lose track of what's going on around you. Try to be aware of everything that's happening. Focus Frames and Unit Frames coupled with Healing/Damage Macros and Focus Macros will greatly aid you in this department.
Coordination between teammates is important, especially when quickly switching targets to exploit an enemy player who has gotten out-of-position or who has used a PvP trinket/large cooldown at a bad time.
Practice with your team and develop complex strategies. Simply using basic strategies like “attack the healer” will not get you to the top of the Arena ladder.
Again, the more you play together the better your reactions to enemy action will become. Just as in any other battle situation, having the ability and knowledge to counter an opponent’s attack is crucial to your success.
Use Focus Target to have a better idea of what is going on. Combine Focus Target with macros to play more efficiently. Focus can be keybound and it can also be set to a specific click with the Arena addon Gladius.
