As far as healing priests and resto druids are concerned, spirit is better for both PvP and PvE, including arena.
not really. unless my exception above with innervate, and ONLY innervate.
think bout this, avg priest in arena gear, have around 220-240 spirit WITH DS, if enemy team can strip your buff, you wont even have DS. how much spirit ur left?
druids, WORSE

somemore thats assuming you can even use spirit regen while ur almost constantly spamming spells/GCD burning. the only time spirit would excel over mp5 is drinking, and any competant team would prevent that as much as they could (even in tourneys, you can rarely see teams drinking with so much preasure being applied and even if a drink occurs, it doesnt last long)
and with mp5, the need to even drink can be either prevented, or further delayed.
in a nutshell, minus a few exceptions here n there, leave spirit outta pvp. its always been that way, and will remain that way until something drastic changes.
