you have crit items or haste items? generaly affliction is better for arena. The reason is that when resilience goes up destro is loosing a lot of potential. Imagine a 5k chaos bolt crit :D
Another great minus of destro is the no existant dispell protection. Without immolate you cant launch combo strikes.
You can say destro is better vs noob teams. I would stick wih affliction specialy if you have haste pvp items.

You'll go farther as aff in 2s.
Destro will eventually just hit a wall and you'll have a hard time progressing beyond it.
For 3s and 5s, it's less of a clear cut issue.

In 2v2's i also play with a holy pally.
I play both. Affliction and Destruction. Both have their good and bad points.
Affliction is good for the extra self heals. All the DoT's are also great because you are still dealing good damage while running for your life away from Melee.
Downfall, no real Burst damage. You pretty much DoT both guys in 2v2 and out last them. Hopefully..
Destruction has some great burst. You keep immolate up like you would keep Haunt up. If you have a good healer, Destruction can help burst down a target a lot faster then Affliction can, and most fights last a lot shorter if you are a good team.
gear wise, if you are Relentless/Wrathful, gearing/geming for affliction/destro is really easy and not too hard if you have the honor kicking around.
Play with what you are having fun with.. If you get bored, try switching it up. Both are great spec's in arena, but it all depends on your team.
Good Luck!

With a Pally you need to go Destro, A Pally fixes so may issues Destro has in 2s.
Pallies have a dispell so you can use your Succumbs. And he can Keep your pet alive.
He can stop silences with Aura mastery so you can chain nuke. also, He can Burn his CDs to keep you offensive.
The way a Holy pally helps add damage is with CD based spells which is the same as Destro's burst. and Hammer is all the time you need to blow some one up or force CDs form the other team.
Pallies can help with Aff. Yet, Druids are so much better for Aff.
A Pally gives Aff one stun and some CDs. no cc chains, no added Dots, and no spam-able damage , all makes it harder to land kills. A Druid has all of that. In-fact the mana war is the main way my Pally / Aff team landed a kill.

Maybe it's my own personal preference, but I still think the felhound is better than the succy for destro/loladin (actually for everything). The succy goes OOM in 20 seconds and then turns into a light hitting soul link battery.
You still get the silence and offensive dispell from the felhunter and are able to defensive devor for when the paladin is fear/hojed/strangulated.
when the Succy hits oom just get a new one /fix
The game should only take one min. it should be over with the 2nd Hammer.

If you play as a smart 2v2 team (Pally/Destro) you usually park your succy in a safe place. Start your damage. I usually started on the healer and CCing the DPS. Then, fear the healer. The healer usually will pop his trinket to avoid the burst damage. Switch targets. With no DOT's on the healer, Seduce him and concentrate on the DPS. Should be a quick kill as you can focus on the DPS with no incoming heals. Then beat the snot out of the healer if he doesnt leave the arena battle.
The Felhunter is nice, but in 2v2 the Succy and his long seduce is a better choice, imo. However in 5v5 i prefer the Hunter for the Devour Magic and the Silence he provides. If glyphed, the heals are a bit of a perk too. Although the Seduce can still come in handy, i find usually someone pulls an "OPPS/OH SHI*/F^$%" and breaks the seduce pretty much making the succy's talents useless.
As said in other threads, It varies on play style/experience, preference and your team's config.
