This is caused by a corrupt file in the WoW directory. I believe you need to delete Cache folder and then try again.
I played a holy paladin in the last arena season and got to ~2k rating. One thing I'll tell you is that ret was not viable at higher levels. But, that said, given the new changes to Paladins in Cataclysm the class plays a whole lot different. You have a new resource to manage, and this is the difference between a good and a bad ret paladin. If you can manage this properly I don't see why ret wouldn't be viable in arena.
Also, holy paladins have changed quite a bit as well. Holy light and Flash of light have had their roles reversed. Holy light is now a long casting mana cheap spell, where as Flash of light is still a fast spell but very expensive. Holy paladins have had some AoE healing spells put in, I think its called cone of healing, heals all targets to front of you in a cone. Also, with beacon of light and the passive spell that heals all friendly on crit (i think) Paladins will still be viable as healers for all brackets of arena.
What spec did you take?
I noticed this - took me little more than a day to get to 25, I'm enjoying the new content but I'll be outlevelling it too fast to see much. I'm still amazed that we see rerollers there to check out the new Azeroth with +XP heritage equips, what's the point in that?
They just reduced the amount of XP needed to get from 71 to 80 by 20% iirc even faster leveling

That's depressing. I remember my one and only 60-70 experience, played through a couple of months ago. I barely visited 1/3 of Outland before I'd hit 70 and outlevelled all the areas. Quite depressing, really - I'd love an option to slow down the levelling process and give you a more thorough experience, but as it is the only experience I'll have of most of the game world is blasting through zones one-shotting any mob I come across, with low-level quests tracked to complete the loremaster achievements

In theory you could turn off xp gains at a set level to expereince the content at around the correct level. But I do agree with what you say, levelling seems faaaaaaaaarrrr to fast these days. We already have guildies (after 24-36 hours of re-rolling) up into the mid-high 30's, great if you want to level fast but by the same token a bit annoying that you can whizz past the whole re-done world.
ive hit 70 in 21 hours play time. unless you mean actual days.
Indeed, level 30 after 24-36 hours /played is incredibly slow!
You can get two characters to 80 in that time nowdays, or maybe even three
