Focus Macros
Some of the most important macros in PvP are focus cast macros. Essentially, they allow you to cast abilities on other units without having to manually change your target. This makes your gameplay a lot more fluid and reactive. For this reason, you should have such macros for important spells like Dispel Magic and Mind Control.
#showtooltip /cast [@focus] Dispel Magic
#showtooltip /cast [@focus] Mind Control
Arena Macros
Arena macros do essentially the same thing. The downside of making arena macros is the number of binds you will have to allocate. Not to mention, they are a lot more difficult to get used to. Essentially, you will have 3 binds for each ability. You could start by using focus macros for most of your abilities and arena macros for some of the most important CC, and expand the more you get used to it.

#showtooltip /cast [@arena2] Dispel Magic
#showtooltip /cast [@arena3] Dispel Magic
Party Macros
As a Priest, you have a lot of utility, so you need to have an efficient way of interacting with your teammates. You could either use player names (make sure you don’t forget to edit the macro when you change teammates), or by using party macros, which are easier to maintain. In this case, party1 is always at the top of your group, party2 is the second member right below, regardless of your own position on your frames. It is great for arena in general, and even better for Solo Shuffle. As a healer, you should also have keybinds to target party1 and party2 to help you during the games.
You should have these macros for some of the most important utility like Purify in order to quickly dispel important debuffs without additional button presses.

#showtooltip /cast [@party2] Purify
#showtooltip /cast [@PLAYERNAME] Purify
Other Macros
One of the things you have to decide on is how to deal damage. It is an important part of your gameplay, so there are a few ways to go about it. You could make @focus macros as we discussed before for your most important DPS abilities like Mind Blast, Smite, Shadow Word: Pain and Mindgames. Alternatively, you could bind target arena123 and manually switch targets every time you need to do some damage. Ultimately, the decision is yours, and you can use macros to achieve that goal.
Lastly, we have two quality of life optional macros. The first one is @player for Angelic Feather, and the second one is @cursor for Mass Dispel. These remove the need to click twice and instead cast the spell immediately. With the @player condition, the spell is cast at your feet right away, whereas @cursor will cast the spell at the location of your mouse. This saves you a bit of time in hectic games and could be very convenient in general. Once you get used to these, your gameplay will feel much more fluid.
#showtooltip /cast [@player] Angelic Feather
#showtooltip Power Word: Barrier /cast [@cursor] Power Word: Barrier
#showtooltip Void Shift /cast [target=party1] Void Shift
#showtooltip Void Shift /cast [target=party2] Void Shift
#showtooltip /cast [@cursor] Mass Dispel
