Your strategy should differ against different match-ups. However your strategy is definitetly one of the strategies mentioned above. sometimes you want to avoid getting in fight and some other time if you don't get your butt in fight fast you'll lose. Bottom Line : Play SMART. Another important thing at the beginning of an arena match is knowing and controling key-locations of the arena ground. In BEM for example if you let an opponent caster stay on top of a pillar while you are down you will most likely lose. these locations might differ based on your class and team build. So again : Play SMART Strategies mentioned above are great but it’s not as simple as the OP says. Your strategy should differ against different match-ups.

Being that elemental shaman have the highest controlled burst dps in the game (controlled being able to pull off the burst whenever they want) and can also backup heal, they are often targeted quickly and with the shamans lack of effectively cc or anti-cc outside of trinkets. Back on subject-when the arena starts and your 4 party members go out the enemy thinks that they are going against a rogue who is merely stealthed. When they charge or when the fight starts up, run out from behind the gate and quickly burn down your target. It should take at least a couple seconds for them to realize that the rogue never showed and that a shaman has appeared. This should work, to varying degrees, for multiple classes.
