I've PvPed with a Priest, Warrior, Shaman, and Rogue; my best ratings in each were 1850, 1350 (!), 1550, and 1550 respectively. The warrior wasn't spectacular, but the rogue and priest were fairly equal (priest perhaps slightly better), so a magnitude of 300 arena rating could be attributed almost entirely to group composition. The shaman was very brief so I can't say that much there.
What I've learned from this is simple: 5v5 is about adaptation. 2v2 is about execution. 2v2 is also much more a case of rock-paper-scissors, although that analogy might suggest that all teams are equal (they are not).
2v2 was fun when it boiled down to who executed their strategy best, but unless you have a class that compliments you well, prepare to be extremely frustrated as you are helplessly cut down by class composition that works against you. With my Rogue buddy, once we had execution of our strategy down to a Tee, winning or losing was simply a matter of seeing what other classes/specs the enemy team has.
In my opinion, if you're new, hedge your bets by getting a healer that compliments your class.
