Well there are several reasons in my opinion.
1. It takes 12 people to make a DM game. So during the not-so-busy hours of the day, it may be hard to get a DM game going and keep it going. Therefore, many people choose to just play PvP instead of waiting to get into DM.
2. Deathmatch is basically a giant spam-fest. The only reason people play DM is to get WSP and reputation. So people are going to be spamming like crazy to get as much damage as possible to obtain the most points. People that are looking for more of a test of skill and practice are going to go to PvP.
3. Bigger battles in big PvP games. Sometimes it's fun to be in a 10 v 10 PvP game just because of all the mayhem and confusion. There's tons of people to hit and a ton of people to hit you. Makes it more fun.
4. In the Arena when you die, you stay dead 'til the next game. So there isn't the same "use all your mp then die" mentality. It's more about being smart and conserving to win. Which also makes it more fun sometimes.
That's all I could think of off the top of my head. There are more reasons of course, like different maps and such.
I play about half and half Arena and Deathmatch. Because, I like to get a lots of WSP but also test my skill against others that aren't in it just for the points.
