Arena season 5 is currently scheduled to begin on December 17th, and once that happens players who have reached level 80 will be able to compete in rated arena matches where they can gain arena points which can be used to purchase level 80 arena gear, as well as compete for end-of-season rewards. Players who remain at level 70 after Season 5 begins will only have access to play skirmish arena matches against other level 70 players. However, two new skirmish brackets will be made available (71-75, 76-80) for players who wish to hone their arena skills while leveling in Northrend. (source)

So basically that’s 2 weeks from now, best get yourself ready. One way to really bulk up for the next season (and probably have a GROSS advantage) is to raid Archavon whenever possible and score some of that Deadly & Hateful Gladiator loot.
