I would say that arenas, and the game as a whole, are better off with nearly universal participation. I'm not advocating for BT gear or whatever particular level of gear gets people screaming "welfare". I do think there should be a reason to queue every week. Look at how much loot is available to an average team. Look at how many points they get per week. Divide. Look how much time is left before Wrath. See how long an average team will be without an incentive to queue.
How are 'bad' people getting completely shut out? I think the raid metaphor is apt - sure guilds that don't know what they're doing can participate in the raids, but they have zero chance at getting the gear unless they actually down the boss. Think of achieving the requisite rating as downing the boss. You can still participate in the arenas, you will just actually have to do well in order to get the gear - just like it's been in challenging raids.
