There's so much luck involved and 3 losses is such a small number - don't feel too bad if you hit 3 losses sooner than you'd expect with a great deck. I remember how intense arena was before i'd had 12 wins, now I must have had 30+ - just remember what's in your deck, to accept when you're loosing and start pushing for the win to give yourself a chance, and If you loose for 11-3 rather than 12 don't worry about it - you can't control the decks you face - sometimes you'll face unbeatable decks at 0 - 0. Just go again, don't put too much on one run.
IMO, there isn't anything you can really do to "prepare" yourself. If you feel a bit antsy, grab some water and come back after a quick breather.
Too much luck and RNG involved in arena (of course skill but lets be real).
Btw you've put together a great deck and 9 wins is a good showing for it. You'll hit 12 wins when you least expect it ! Recently I've hit 12 wins with a mage deck with 0 fireballs, 0 flamestrikes, 0 polymorphs. And I went 3-3 with an OP paladin deck. Luck happens. =)
I also remember hearing somewhere that if you are 5- 6-0 etc and lose a game you should take a short break. If you jump immediately back in I think you have a better chance of getting matched up like you are still 6-0 rather than blizzard knowing you are 6-1
This of course I have no idea if it is actually true, but if nothing else I always find it helpful to step back for a sec.

So I was 6-0 up with this deck...... http://www.heartharena.com/arena-run/roqv27
My previous best run was 8 wins with a sick Mage deck, I can feel my game improving as I watch Trump & RATSMAH etc.
Then I lost 2 in a row, going 6-2 and thinking "here we go again - blown another great start"!
I've now dragged it back to 9-2. My problem now is, I'm scared to carry on. I don't want to blow this chance to (say it quietly) get to 12.
Any 9+ players give me any tips on the mindset involved in those final 3 wins when you have 1 life left?! Or maybe specifics to do with my draft?!
Have I been lucky? or has this deck got 12 written all over it?! - Any advice would be great! :-)

Gearing myself up for the final push this afternoon.

Finished 9-3 :-(
Ran into a Mage with a good Mech synergy. It was a haze of Flamecannon's and perfect RNG from his Bomb Lobbers etc. Oh well, onwards and upwards. :-)

Tough loss on that 9-3.

You just play and keep your cool. That's all there is to it. There's no better advice anyone else can give you.
Cheers guys.

Focus on breaking that as a habit.
