As an Arms war your job is to get up in someone's grill and make them freak out while you work on their health. So an interest in ArP is warranted because it makes more bite.
In BG's you'll serve best by creating mayhem in grouped parties. Charge in there and attempt to get the enemy to break rank and flee from you. Any class that isn't designed to stand toe-to-toe with a war will. You can then pick out the sickly gazelle; snare and work them to goo while keeping an eye out for what the group is doing.
They got a healer keeping something up? Then MS is going to do the most use on whoever is getting heals. Got a rogue trying to get an easy clothie? Rend his butt and make him hurt enough to stop. Disarm DKs. Hamstring anything trying to get too far out of your charge/intercept.
Don't use Bladestorm just because it is up. This will get you killed faster than you'll be useless. Use it to keep from being snared and to molest anything trying to get away. Mages and their frost nova come to mind.
Don't let locks/rogues/mages go unmolested as they'll unload massive damage on you or whoever. Keep them moving and running and freaking out.
Also some standard PvP tactics: Always know what your target will/should do when you do something. Know a mage loves to blink so don't BS him until it is on cooldown. Know when the PvP trinket got used, know when that rogue isn't bleeding and is gonna vanish. Know when your Berserker Rage and PvP trinkets are up and engage locks and priests with proper timing.
Don't expect healing. It is godly when it comes but expecting it just makes you a sad war. Be thankful because when heals come and it all works, more heals will come.
As protection you'll focus more on controlling the crowd but also sometimes being the soak. Charge in and let them blow an Alpha on you as your team gets in and focuses fire on something. Hopefully you'll live long enough to see the target party fall into disarray long enough to, again, pick off the sickly gazelle.
I cannot speak of Arena's now because I haven't in so long and don't really know anyone willing to arena that isn't already. Season 8 is coming and with the nerfs coming I might be getting back into it.
Just play smart, don't rely on damage to get the job done. Control the fights by the target's mind.
