Also, with the presumed reduced number of arena teams, what if Blizzard limit the days you can play? Like Arena is only open on saturdays and sundays, after a certain rating.

Just like the current requirements, the ratings are only required to buy the items.
As drysc said on the official forums, the non-set BG items exist to fill out the arena sets.
WoW Forums -> Will Season 3 non-set items stay available?
There's no reason blizzard would limit the days you can play - that would make playing in arena even harder, especially for people who work on raid on those days, and compound the problem.
