What is it? Is it useful for 19 Twinks? How do I get one?
The Arena Grand Master is a trinket that is obtain by completing the Arena Grandmaster quest. The Arena Grand Master is rare quality trinket that gives a passive dodge bonus and a damage absorbing shield.
The Arena Grand Master is still quite useful for 19 twinks, but my opinion is that it’s not as important as it once was. The only reason I say that is that it used to be difficult for a 19 twink to have the bubble dispelled since the spell was a higher level spell. Now it is easily dispelled. Still, the chance of it protecting you for the duration is good in PUGs and in Arenas, it is a must. The dodge rating for a level 19 rogue is 2%, so that in itself makes it a good item to get. Sadly, I haven’t taken the time to get an AGM on any of my twinks.
How do you get it?
You get it as a reward from the Arena Grandmaster quest. This quest starts by turning in an Arena Master to Short John Mithril. When you turn in the 1st, it start the quest and yields between 550-825 XP. Reports say that a 19 discovering the Arena yields 185 XP. Something to think about if you are close.
The best way for your 19 Twink to get the 12 Arena Master drops required is to enlist the help of friends and/or guildies. A level 19 strolling up into the arena isn’t very safe. 
There are other methods that seem to help for some, but the slickest I have read was this one from the Wowhead comment section by vayus…
This was how I accomplished this quest for my level 19 gnome twink, without any help from friends or multiple accounts:
1. First, I moved my 70 main and twink out to the arena in STV.
2. Secondly, I logged out my main on the edge of the arena so that he was not in neutral mode and could not be attacked by members of the same faction. I logged out my twink in the center of the arena.
3. I set an alarm for every 3rd hour when the arena starts.
4. Approximately five minutes before the arena started, I logged in my main and sweeped the edges of the arena with perception to catch any horde in the area before the arena even started.
5. When the chest was dropped, I ran into the arena and immediately began opening the chest. If there were any stealthers or other 70s nearby, they would challenge me and I would kill them (most of the time, anyway). After clearing all visible opposition, I opened the chest and took all items but the trinket itself.
6. I jumped on top of the chest and force quit WoW (Alt+f4). This had the advantage of leaving my 70 in the arena for approximately 45 seconds (your main will actually be in-game during step 7), deterring any ninjas or late arrivals from taking the chest. Simply logging out will leave ninjas with an easy grab.
7. I restarted wow and logged onto my twink. Having the advantage of being a tiny gnome female, I was able to actually log inside the chest, being invisible from the outside. If you are a different race, this may be more difficult, but hopefully your 70 main will be enough of a deterrent to allow you enough time to grab the trinket.
8. I logged out my twink, moved my main up to the edge again and waited another 3 hours to do it all over again.
Using this method, I was successful 12 of 14 tries, which is an incredible success ratio considering the amount of competition from both 70s and lowbies. Happy hunting!

honestly this is another item that needs nerfed.
it is a loophole item. a joke that you take 12 trinkets that require you to be a 35+ to equip one of those, turn them in on a quest and boom a lvl-1 player can equip.
BTW…i have one on my 29 warrior. still should be nerfed. it is better than the level 58 one i obtained for my 59 twink from pvp-AB vendor. however hasd a longer CD
It’s an awesome trinket for twinks. True, it is rediculously powerful in bgs. But that, in essence is what you do with twinks. Take the time, spend the money, and exploit the game to create an epic character that can take on guys 20 levels higher than himself.
