Well, my average is usually approximately 7-9 wins. I've 12-ed a few times but that's rare. 
It sounds like saving an arena "pot" might be the way to go - get the best of both worlds, etc, while still keeping the opportunity to go infinite for the stuff I still need after.

 Well, you're among the best if not the best arena player in the world then, congrats. Playing arena should be a nobrainer in that case.

Not sure why you think that. I've seen players with much better averages than me. (And there are some players who consistently get 12 wins regularly)
In any case, I still get plenty of bad runs with just 2-4 wins, same as everyone else. 
I would assume you were being sarcastic, but since I made a fairly average claim about my ability, it seems a bit redundant to be sarcastic about that. Maybe salty?

 I'm not sure you understand what average means in that case, it does not mean "I occasionally get 7-9 win runs". If you get a couple of bad runs that will hurt your average quite significantly. Even for extremely good arena players it is very difficult to maintain a 7 win average over several months (the leaderboard doesn't reflect your true average as it picks your best 30 in a sequence), Kripp is around 6.7 btw. in a year.

So I was actually only partially sarcastic when I said above statement because a 8-9 win average e.g. is close to impossible in arena and if you truly had such an average, you would indeed be the best arena player in the world.

Cool idea, but the damage is much more limited than Stonetusk + Divine Spirit, against Warriors and Druids that's relevant. You can also easily OTK someone with just one Divine Spirit while that is more difficult with Regenerate due to hand size.

Spend most of your gold on packs, but leave a little bit for arena. How much depends on your average winrate, with 5-6 wins your gold will roughly stay the same if you do one arena run per day (including the daily quest), so there's no need to save much.

At the start of a new expansion, I usually test a couple decks in ranked but it gets boring very quickly once everyone starts running the same lists. After a couple days or at the latest after a week I get back to Arena. Arena is especially profitable for experienced players at the start of an expansion because newer players often do not evaluate cards correctly. The veterans on the other hand (for the most part) will have a pretty good idea how the meta is going to look like and take advantage of that fact. There will also be more (inexperienced) players who play arena to earn their cards for constructed, so opponents are generally easier during that time.

Arena is the most efficient mode in HS, if you're good you earn like 5-7 times more in comparison with ranked in the same amount of time. Unless you absolutely hate that mode you should definitely farm your cards there (as a f2p or as someone who doesn't want to drop a ton of cash on new expansions)

Play arena if you don't want to spend much on the game, it's considerably more profitable than constructed even if you're not that good yet. Infinite arena players earn a pack per hour + a little bit of gold on top while ranked players only get like 20-30g during the same time.

Mojo Expert/Specialist Jihi would be the translation into English.

auto drop 4 arena pick

 You don't really restore health with Pala in arena though...this is below average for arena.

Frostbolt, Book of Specters, Shooting Star...a lot of horrible choices indeed lol. You don't need many spells to do well as a Mage. Had a Mage draft with three spells the other day (Blizzard, Book of Specters, Arcane Explosion) and still went 11-3.

I'm interested to know whether those who spend most of their time in Arena actually spend their gold on packs?

I do, because I like golden cards. I buy packs from an older expansion until I have all legendaries from that set. There's no point in hoarding gold as an arena player anyway, so why not spend it? 

Congrats to 12 wins, 12-0 is very rare even for veteran arena players.

I play around 3-4 hours of constructed every month to get to rank 5, usually right at the end of a season. For arena I play 20-40 runs in a month, which is around 30-50 hours for me.

No, keep her. She may not be used in the meta right now, but she's not bad by any means. I've played her in a dragon control pala to get to rank 5 in September.

 Ok. Will do. Would you be able to send me that dragon Pala you're talking about so I can have a look?

 Sure. It's a pretty expensive deck overall though, so I doubt that you will be able to build it as a new player. But until R15-10 you can probably put her into basically every control deck (like Control Warrior) and get decent results.

It's going pretty well actually, I've played 15 runs during this event with an average of 8 wins. Lots of weak players on the lower end of wins that you can farm easily.

Contents of packs are decided when you buy them so there wont be new ones in them no matter when they come out, sorry to say

 Eh no that's not true. The contents of each pack are decided when you open it.
