With the nerf to Protholydins, it looks like Resto druids are here to stay!

Current faceroll comp is Deathknight/Druid. Cleave teams are still powerful in 3v3, though I have noticed an increase in Shadowplay teams.
Druids in general are faceroll in 2s though, they dominate the mana war.

The main reason they dominate mana wise is because they can also CC the healer/dps to force cooldowns and/or stress on the opposing healer to make them use more mana as well as reduce stress on himself

What about shamans? With Ghost wolf buff you cant slow them down anymore. So in arena i doubt its easy to kill them.

True enough, it is the combination of factors that include:
Spammable CC
Spells that do not require a cast time, and therefore cannot be interrupted.
Dispel protection in the form of lifebloom
Powerful defensive cooldown (barkskin is pretty nice.)
Anti-CC measures via shapeshifting
High mana efficency
I have just always found it ridiculous that I am drinking a crap ton of star's sorrow while the druid I am facing simply casts innervate. T
hat being said, while HoTs are a great strength in 2v2, in 3v3 or 5v5 they are a liability. It is much harder for a druid to keep up the healing, they generally have to output more. 2v2 bracket nerf will fix the druid class more then anything else.

Warriors have had the tools since TBC to be good at their job, so long as they have a healer to back them up.
DPS FotM? DK. Warlocks, warriors, and rogues have always been powerhouses.

From what I've seen, this week. Destro Warlocks, Prot warriors, Resto shaman, Frost mages (that will never change), and Resto Druids.
A mix and match of that is what most of the teams I've faced this week have been, but my team is just starting out so..

Some ideas about druids.
Well... I usually found good druids a pain to Burn. If it is a 1vs1, forget, i am lucky to get a single manaburn down in a good druid - they shift to bear and no matter how good my offensive is, i'm unable to down a massive bear with lots of hp and his hots still rolling. He may lose some mana shifting, but not as much as he'd lose if i burned him. If it is arena it depends a lot in his partner - but if my medallion is on cooldown he can easily shift to bear, stun me and run out of LoS. As a Druid has his instants ready, he can use his rage or energy to offensive, and save his mana; As i use mana for both, i can't place much faith in a win.
With the rise of shamans, i bet Priests will go down - a shaman is nearly a hard counter to all i can do. Interrupts, dispels, grounding and tremor... Though Priest/Rogue might still be popular. Shamans hate stuns.

Frost mages (that will never change)
You just got outplayed by a Frost Mage didn't you?

Not to mention, yes, rolling hots is easy, but it's also very taxing on mana. If a priest and I were to go at it, the priest would win, hands down. While the priest has mana burn to steal my mana, he has shadowfiend and some hymn to get his back. The reduced mana that innervate gives back has something left to be desired as well.
Resto druids are and have been a very powerful class and spec, but it's not nearly as easy as it used to be.
Try shifting to bear or cat and then try again. I don't think I ever land a mana burn on a really good druid.
