Ok, so I tested magic absorption with the priest talent silent resolve and the reduced chance to have buffs dispelled is a different mechanic than resists. When a buff is not removed due to the talent, it's counted as a spell failure, not a resist and doesn't give back any mana. So this talent isn't really any good for arena.

I also did some short tests with arcane focus and hit gear (16% hit in total) vs. interrupt talents. It doesn't seem to do anything. In 20 casts vs. a paladin with improved concentration aura, I had 1 interrupt resisted, and 2 silences resisted. 3 resists out of 20 is 15%, although you could argue every cs is like casting 2 spells, a silence and an interrupt, and so 3 resists out of 40 is 7.5%. However, if spell hit worked against the anti-cs talents, you would expect to get only 1% resists. 20 casts is a very small sample but getting people to stand there getting cs'ed for over 10 minutes is pretty difficult.
