Try to get a 200 dps+
axe
as poleaxe is the best PvP spec. Also: You itemized for survivability, not damage dealing. If you know when to use a shield/shieldwall, then you should have no issues with gemming and enchanting for pure AP value. 2800 ap is too little, change all your enchants (except +40 stamina to bracers) to ap equivalents, and get +ap or +crit chance trinkets (wintergrasp rune + battlemaster trinket). Doing this should net you another 400-450 AP, which is essential considering how little you already have.
Since warriors run with healers in PvP 90% of the time, you want to hit as hard as possible, if you time your defensive cooldowns properly you should be able to survive with just the resilence from your PvP gear (grab the rings and neck, dont wear PvE items unless they are +str.)

You need to learn how to balance your play and use a shield for sure. The difference between a 2k+ arena warrior and a 1k one is that the 2k rated guy will know when to use shieldwall, shield block, and have an intervene/spellreflect macros set up.
In 2v2 arena for example, it is important if you are paired with a healer to intervene/spellreflect a shatter combo if you are facing a team with a frost mage.
So my suggestion is to grab a heroic badge shield and a half-decent 1 hander and pull 'em out when needed. Chillax3r gave some great macros to use.

You have some really nice gear there - I would say drop the trinket for another one because you are human you have "every man for himself" which is a PVP trinket
Also you are starting to gimp yourself in DPS - you are a Warrior you are not built to last (unless in prot spec) - you are built to destroy!
Change your meta gem to the Crit and Damage one.
Change your pants chant to the Crit & AP one.
Drop some of the Resilience and Stam for Strength or AP (either or)
You need to do burst damage and you just won't be able to kill unless you get a lucky Crit - If you have a pally he/she should be able to give you decent heals to keep you alive
My mate who is arena warrior is currently using this spec
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#LcrIbfIt0drRzGuioGx0o:sqw0zM
the sweeping strikes glyph is good for when they bunch up - giving you extra attacks and letting you keep 30 rage. This you can change for the hamstring glyph if you feel you use that most.
Change your cheast piece for the titan forge one - I think its got more stam and it allows you to drop some hit too :)
Remember its all trial and error - I am starting Arena soon too but I would definitly say get Death's Bite or any other better axe - and if you can replace it with the PVP axe that will save you heaps
