PB is generally not that useful in arenas as it means you're playing a non-VoR dom mesmer and lack a lot of damage output as well as defense.

On the current 'red bar' monks in Arenas PB seems nice but the rest of the bar doesn't add much to a build.

Especially in RA, where you'll want to play something that can do things on it's own as your team mates tend to be pretty unreliable, running a normal dom mesmer is usually a waste of time.

Pblock a mind blast (considering the amount of them running around RA) and sit on another caster, bam thats two targets shut down.

I try to bring empathy in arena's as that offers you SOME protection. I like to bring dshot and a bow for assasin leads/res sig.

Running a Pblock in arena is much like running a warrior. You are going to lose with most matchups, but if you do hit that wonderful matchup where your team complements each other, then you will roll just about every team you face. Though its even more risky than running a warrior, you are basically required to get a monk and 2 other characters that can push out strong pressure, else you just aren't going to be allowed to be effective.

If you realize and accept this going in, then running Pblock is just fine and it really is the bar you should be practicing for interrupts. Also try syncing with a monk, sure its lame, but it should give you a much better opportunity to play the bar.
