For 2v2 I'd definately wear more stm and resilience, in 5v5 and 3v3 you can get away with more +heal gear.
Your first spend of arena points should probably be for the arena healing gloves if you don't have them already.. after that save for the chest, that'll give you 2 piece bonus and some decent stats fairly quickly. Farm some normal honor from battlegrounds for the improved pvp trinket (32 resilience and shorter CD) and the epic lamellar bracers, boots and belt. If you can't be bothered going for the boots and belt no worries but the bracers are decent stm if you put a stm gem in and enchant with 12 stm.
Often people don't try to zerg down a healer because you can just BoF yourself and run round and round the nearest pylon or bridge ramp abusing line of sight. Meanwhile your dps is free to nuke the crap out of them. In 3v3 or 5v5 if your dps is trying to zerg down 1 guy and all their dps are trying to dps down you and you're not winning "dps zerg the race" it's time to change your strat and split dps on each of their dps'ers. If your dps ties up 1 of their dps each it should be impossible for them to zerg you down, then when one of their dps gets low both your dps switch to assist on that guy and it's game over.
If you are having trouble with melee dps on you in 2v2, it's time to get tricky BoF youself, judgement of justice the dude.. kite around a pylon till HoJ is up again, remember to unsheath your weapons when not healing so you can block/parry attacks. In 2v2 with a warrior, he can intervene to you and fear if the situation is desperate, remind them to watch your health and let them know when you are out of cooldowns etc.
