If it is truly a necessity to get shadow resistance gear for a specific match up, then I'm completely disappointed by the arena system itself. Weak.

This is actually true, there are no PvP items designed to counter these two specs (shadow priests and affliction warlocks. I don't consider demo warlocks a problem of this magnitude however).
While people are explaining how to counter them by killing them fast or equipping sres gear etc, they forget the fact that 1) The other team will be killing your weakest link fast to, and 2) your stats will be gimped quite a lot by wearing the sres sets, meaning you can't do as much damage or heal as much damage as the other team can, considering they are wearing the standard gladiator gear which is superior to blues with sres.
I think the ultimate solution would be having resilience affecting dots in some way, lowering its overall dps as much as it lowers the dps of crit based classes. How much this is would be very easy to test and adjust, so I don't think it would be a balance problem.
