Your understanding of balance is off. The idea that any collection of 5 specs with "With the right ratio of defensive and offensive abilities" can compete close to evenly with whatever other combo is put out there is pretty silly - and has never been a stated design goal of arenas.
Arenas are balanced as long as there is another combo that can kill the shadow based one. If the shadow one is overpowered and becoming overpopulated, and a little while the "shadow killing" group will start to become more popular. Maybe your immutable group will be able to defeat the shadow killers.
The obvious answer is green shadow protection gear, and an item rack button. As soon as you see a shadow based team, hit that button. It's a cheesy answer to a cheesy problem, but invoking "principles" over one little part of a video game is cheesier still. If Pom-pyro was state of the art for PvP, you be silly not to atleast look at some FR gear.
Or maybe you could just respec a bit. I'm not very good at arena, but wouldn't a BM hunter do better vs a lock? If your druid is spending all of his time HoTing, shouldn't he go resto?
