It was added in patch 4.2, so it is not a part of wrath of the lich king
Edit:
My mistake, it was revamped in 4.2 and unused prior to wrath. As to when it will be implemented, it is currently unknown
No it was not, it's needed in an achivment and you can find some video of ppl doing arenas in this during wotlk retail
World Wide Winner, as stated by Krarr, requires you to win in the Ring of Valor.
I must say that, although I'm not particularly in favor of adding the Ring of Valor to the current available arena sites as it favors certain classes (namely, warlocks), I still find it a bit strange to get such an anti-blizzlike response from the Warmane staff, when Blizzlike seems to be the company's philosophy.
The answer isn't anti-Blizzlike.
I've answered this question a number of times before.

Feel free to do your own research on it.
Isn't considering what happened to the Ring of Valor once WOTLK was over an anachronism?
I do agree that it's unbalanced, but it's still required for a few achievements, including The Arena Master.
I understand Warmane's point and that my opinion is irrelevant on this matter, but I still believe a compromise can be made.
If it were put in the game in a perfectly "blizzlike" fashion (as in, how it existed in the Wrath expansion), it would be buggy as hell and create an unenjoyable experience for most people who participate in it. Then we would need to be sure to disable it once in a while for months at a time, just like Blizzard did. That really isn't something that would be wise to invest development time in.
This is one of the reasons I take issue with the "blizzlike" argument so many people like to use. The staff doesn't operate on a purely "blizzlike" philosophy. Instead, it is better to weigh and make arguments and counter-arguments about what should and should not be in the game, whether it is blizzlike or not.
Examples would be transmog scrolls are not a "blizzlike" feature, but having a week where Seal of Vengeance ticks for 100k would be blizzlike. The word is not a be-all, end-all argument or viewpoint. It is very short-sighted and a narrow-minded way to approach development.
Sure, a compromise could be made, such as scripting and adding the arena for skirmish-only, or allowing the achievement to be completed without needing to participate in that arena. Or something of the sort. I think that approach would be a much better solution to the issue with the achievement than to make the arena accessible in arena queues and disrupt the experience of competitive players.
