For fighting blasters or doms I'd recommend sonic/therm or dark/cold corrs..
But a good fort should wreck any blaster/Dom without def debuffs
What type of arena? 1 v 1? or a larger scale, 8 v 8?
if 8 v 8, start out with something simple like a stalker to help you get in the groove of practicing locks without getting farmed all the time. Next, you can move to a blaster or rad and work on evading. I think blaster would be easier personally.

The year is 2011. i12 and i13 are long long gone. A good fort will still be a losing fort vs good psy blasters and Dom's. More dmg from blasters, receiving a major nerf in def/elusivity, blasters or Doms and other squishies taking resists plus the game given resists (that will give higher resists to the other squishies than the Fort will have).
It is an uphill battle for the Fort in these days.
Repeat Offenders forever !
Make all IO's available in Paragon Market! NCSoft, the chinese are making BIG money selling influence and other stuff in the game. Best way to stop them = make the paragon market a place to buy all IO's and perhaps other things as well.

50% Ranged def in zone, still to pick up the glad arm proc... Other attacks are all purple and pvp dmg proc'd.
Mace for Shatter Armour and Nade for planting and escaping with aid self has been very effective as of late. However I'm not underestimating freedom blasters, I can imagine a very different experience if I was stateside.
I struggle with psi blasters due to the inherent Accuarcy but it's by far my most effective zonal pvp toon.
And most importantly, it's loadsa fun !
Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
So, after playing a lot of zone pvp for the past two years, I've decided to move more towards the next step, arena. SO, yesterday i did a few duels using my lolwidow, and found it unsatisfactory. Im sure its built right, but i guess its just how broken widows are. So for arena, what build should i be using? (im mostly talking about dueling blasters and doms here) sonic pain corr? Rad therm corr? even a lolregen?
Thanks for the help.
