Been a little more serious with arena lately, and I'm tryin to get use to all of the stuff going and get my UI, add-ons ironed out. It would be very nice if Blizz had a practice match queue, to warm up /configure new builds. No rewards.
Skirmish just isn't cutting it. Being queued with num nums or fighting #wemeltyourface team, and waiting 2-5 mins for matches kinda sucks - for practice.
you can wargame if you need to set up your ui in peace, otherwise skirms are practically AI with every melee playing the same
if you really need ai, the world is infested with them, or hit the training dummies

Couldn’t agree more. Coming from being solely a pve player, I had a really difficult time adjusting to arena 1/2/3 macros, placement of frames, etc IN arenas/skirms. Having an ai arena sim, or even dummy’s that triggered the arena layouts would be helpful for us plebs that want to start. Getting into mythic raiding was WAY easier than getting into 3’s.

Can you find another dps and a healer from your guild to practice with? Group up and do skirmishes so you can set your ui, keybinds and just get a feel for arena in a stress free environment.
This may not work for you but I use these macros for all spells, cc and such that I want to be able to quickly use on an arena enemy I may not have targeted.
/cast [target=arena1] spellnamehere
Repeat and make 2 more macros for arena 2 and 3.

with the new AI blizzard showed off at Blizzcon for BGs, I'm going to assume arena AI is coming also which is awesome. Anything to help people get better is something everybody should be on board with
