Patch 3.0.3: Two New Arenas

Though this was strangely left out of the 3.0.3 patch notes, Nethaera contacted us to let us know about two new arenas that were added in Tuesday's update.  She also posted on the official forums about it, to make the community as a whole aware.

Quote from: Nethaera (Source)

With the latest patch release, we’ve added two new arenas: the Dalaran Sewers and the Ring of Valor in Orgrimmar. These arenas offer new obstacles and challenges for strategy savvy players. The arenas have been added to the random rotation and are accessible via the queue system as Skirmishes. For more information on these two new arenas, please visit http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/insider/11/arena.xml . Both Dalaran Sewers and the Ring of Valor will also be available for tournament play during Arena Season 5.

While Osirisofdoom reported it on World of Raids on the 4th, it's nice to finally have it confirmed by Blizzard as intended.  Have you participated in the arenas yet?  If so, what are your thoughts on their gameplay versus the arenas already available?

    Resto druids got nerfed into ground right now. In my opinion shamans should will most likely rock arena now.

    /agree with angelrock. Top 3 2's teams? what a surprise, all resto druids on em. We don't really know how well balanced it is till we get to arena at 80 with gear though, the new talents are pretty spiffy for most classes. Priests kinda got the boot to the face, but shamans got a hot, and shockadins will be much better, instant flashes? kthx.

    And make the gear matching work better if it's even still around

    Arena play has been "broke" forever. Until balance is bought to the table new arenas do not matter. Make it about skill not the class you rolled.
