Prot arena PvP

Hello,
I have a ret PvP set. My friend (feral PvP kitty) and I arena together. For the first couple of times I specced ret, but we lost a lot, probably due to inexperience, lack of gear, and such. I then switched over to a Prot spec but using the same gear. We're doing a little better now.
I was wondering how I should socket my pieces of PvP gear now that I'm prot spec. I see it as having three possibilities:
1. Stamina. More hp = longer to kill me.
2. Attack power or crit. Will allow me to do more damage, but would these gems make much of a difference as I'm not meant to be a giant damage dealer?
3. Intellect. I find myself oom a lot, so would intellect aid me enough to warrant socketing for it? Probably not, but I'd like a second opinion.
Thanks for any input.

Not int.
Prot = burst. Burst means that you don't worry too much about survival. Personally, I'd go for block value first, followed by Strength, from a burst perspective. But generally Str > Crit > AP.

Don't forget, you need a really heavy swinging 1 hander for Prot PvP.
