I could understand not picking up Imp. Mana Burn, I didn't use it half as much while running with a Rogue than I did while running with a DK or Ret Pally... However, Glyph of Flash Heal? Really? Even Glyph of PW:S is far fetched, considering that at best, you can cast it twice every 13 seconds in 2v2s... I'd consider Glyphs of Pain Suppression, Inner Fire and/or Smite over those two.

Not to mention Minor Glyphs of Fortitude and Levitate... How often do you levitate or fort in the middle of an arena match? While I understand that Minor Glyph choice is limited for Priests, Glyph of Shackle would be better than either one of the ones you picked.

Talent-wise, while it is arguably okay not to pick all of Silent Resolve, Absolution, Martyrdom, Imp. Mana Burn or Reflective Shield, skipping ALL of them is just plain wrong. Your spec looks exactly like the cookie-cutter PvE spec, only with Unbreakable Will over Twin Discipline... While it will work in BGs, there's no way you can be effective in Arena with that spec, and if you do achieve a "high" rating, then you could get even higher with a proper spec.

There's a lot of PvP Disc specs out there, simply look in the "Useful Threads, READ BEFORE POSTING" stickied post for "Discipline Arena, What The Pros Are Doing" or something like that, or simply go to ArenaJunkies.com, look up any top 2v2 team that includes a Disc Priest and mostly copy their spec, you'll be better off than running with this PvE spec.

This is what I use for 2's with a rogue. It's not that far off of Bilians spec who is one of the best priests around.

Edit: But the exact spec you want to use should vary greatly according to your playing style and your team composition... What are you running with?

Unless you get a double dps team then Mana burn will make the fight so much easier. Plus being a disc priest in 2's you not only have to be defensive, you also have to be really offensive too. Glyph of smite is a great addition to your rogues burst.

Rogues opening+Holy Fire+Smite+Mind Blas+Shadow Word: Death= a ton of burst that puts you ahead. With a well timed fear or blind this will either A.) Make the opponent trinket early or B.) You get a quick kill and it's now 2v1.

You're going to have to kite a lot so Flash heal probably won't be spammed nearly as much as you think. You will have to move a lot to kite or stay out of LoS of casters.

Oh, and back to mana burn. It really comes in handy against pallies/druids. And really good against another disc priest. I could understand leaving it out for 3's or 5's, but it's really needed in 2's to have that little bit of the edge against the other healer.

This is my 2v2 spec with a feral druid or ms warrior. Mana burn is almost mandatory in 2v2 and so is getting a decent amount of haste rating and resilience. Imp mana burn essentially ends the game in your favor if you go into a stale mate especially if you can control their mana regen abilities like mana tide totem, dispel divine plea and innervate, and kick hymn of hope.

You also have a major advantage having a rogue with a 70% snare. No one else can snare that effectively so kiting is in your favor.

If you open with a sap, you can blind/psychic scream/gouge/mind control the other until you main target is dead. During this time you can pump in some decent (not amazing) but decent dps to close the kill.

Being a priest teamed with a feral druid, I know this too well from the receiveing end. My suggestion above all is to get mana burn and when you are more comfortable on survivability crowd control, get some dps and help your rogue close the kill.
