As you get higher up in rankings you will tend to fight the same handful of teams. Use this to your advantage!
playing as a paladin/warrior combo, SR gear is OP against priests and locks. Blizz recently nerfed gear swapping after the arena starts, but you can still change out during the pre match buff period.
Take a look at the armory for your battlegroup, and make a list of all the teams you would have an advantage over if you knew it was them you were about to face. For us, its the shadow groups, as SR gear nullifies any threat (200 damage SBs ftl).
make a macro:
/w Warock1 Kara?
/w Warlock2 need CC heroic Mech
/w Priest1 BM we just need heals and gtg
etc.
Now when you enter the arena, press your macro. If you whisper to them, they are either on your server or in the arena.
a simple shift click on the names you whispered will tell you where they are.
I actually haven't tried this for the opposite faction, so i dunno what message you would receive tbh.
Again, I haven't been on for a while, but I am eating lunch at work and haven't seen anything on this, so I figured I would throw it out there.
