This is my experience, so it might not be true for you.
I'm trying out a various comps atm, I switch teams a lot so my rating isn't very high. But, priest + dk or rogue against pala/dk, priest needs to LOS a lot. Pala/DK doesn't have any non-magical snare. If you're running w/ a DK, u get the 15% run speed buff. Theoretically, if you can outskill/keep up them w/ the pillar, they can't catch you. This is harder in the undercity arena, and impossible on ring of valor. If they catch you, ur fear is probably 5s from being up, and they don't have any fear defense. Dispel glyth is good, you dispell chain of nice and seal of 100% snare.
Ret pala/DK is the easier matchup. Ret's chasing after you, you can get double fear off pretty easily. Have DK be on the ret pala. Ret pala dies from taking damage, while trying to do damage to you. If this go hairy have ur DK pop mark of blood on the other dk. You also have painsupression and stuff. I also found it extremely helpful to have DK time the mark of blood exactly to the divine shield. THen I can tank stuff while pulling the mass dispell. The trick against this is to not take much damage, and it's doable in 3/5 arenas.
Holy pala + dk is the harder one. DKs will be chasing healers, and being pulled by the other dk. Two strats really. First is to kill quickly. You can fear, pala can't. You can heal while moving, pala can't. Charge in w/ ur DK and go w/ the quick kill. MD ASAP on shield is key. Pala can't take too many hits from DK if they can't get away. Help ur dk out by dispelling chain of ice next gcd, and dispell pala's sacred shield and other stuff. mana burn isn't the right thing to do here, the thign to do is kill, while kiting the other dk.
2nd strat w/ the holy pala + dk is to outlast. This could go on for 10+ min. Killing pet is good, then u can drink. Bascially kite dk and have ur dk on the holy pala. Ur DK will ahve issues, since he'll be pulled to the other DK and snared w/ chain of ice. Your DK needs to snare the other DK if he can't catch the pala right away. This matchup can become super bad super fast, as if both DK's pets are dead, DKs snare each other, healers can mount and lolrun and drink till full. DKs dont' really do damage to eachother, but with pala/priest can both esaily getaway from DKs w/ the other DK helping, it becomes a stalemate.
I always go for the fast kill against dk/holy pala, then if that fails, draw it out  .
