Now you might want to kill off some Twos because they're skin jobs with such religious zeal to them they make the one track minded Replicants look like Titan A.E. robots. Or you might want to kill off twos because the bracket was nearly impossible to balance.
According to a recent post by Ghostcrawler (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=19820635563&pageNo=1&sid=1#9) there are three primary reasons that they killed off the 2v2 arena (http://www.wow.com/category/arena/) bracket this season.
First, the most successful compositions were dominated by classes that were "well-rounded... with lots of offense and defense..." Think Paladins (http://www.wow.com/category/Paladin/) and Druids (http://www.wow.com/category/Druid/). Ever try to kill a good Resto druid one-on-one? It can get a little bit insane. Same thing happens in the twos bracket.
Secondly, there exists a problem with healer balance. Consider the following scenario:

A healer can keep himself and his two partners up in 3s, therefore would be over powered in 2s
