Thank you everyone - I really appreciate the responses. I'm going to see how things shake out after today's update and then I'll start by upgrading Dooku to 5* (or 6* if I get enough shards today), Phasma to 7*, Kylo to 6*, Daka to 7*, Ventress to 7*, upgrade abilities & levels as much as I can. I figure I can spend <7M credits to do this and have 20M in reserve. Then I'll play around with a stronger Arena team. I guess I just needed some fellow players to tell me to stop saving/stockpiling (which I never would have ever thought to do without the forum)
PS: Totally random observation - this morning we had a 'client must be restarted' and all of my hard nodes (Rey, FOTP, Ahsoka) failed to drop a single shard. lol.
