HAHAHAHA, that was just the most hilarious shit I've ever seen in high level MMA.
That beats Silva's last minute triangle by far.

armbars are a low percentage sub. there's a reason that there was a streak of like ~25 straight UFC events where not one armbar was hit. and when they are its usually on fight night cards with much lower level guys fighting.
unless its from guard like you said it often gives up position because getting out of it, especially when sweaty is not too hard. there are 2 basic escapes
1. get your elbow under their hips, from there its over
2. if you cant get the elbow out, then you have to go the other way
even with a gi armbars are relatively easy to escape. as long as you dont flail your arms around like a retard and keep them close to your body when your guard is passed you should not be in danger of being armbarred. and from guard, shucking off an armbar is pretty simple.
if you can get to s-mount armbars are amazing. or if someone sticks their arm up in the air to defend strikes grab it. but manufacturing one against someone who knows how to defend is very tough, and you may end up on the bottom of side control if you miss. fuck that

I'm not a BJJ guy, so I wont say much about what works and what doesn't, unless I trained I wouldn't give too much insight on it, only what I've seen and heard/read from watching videos and interviews.
As a spectator, I think it just depends on the person doing the armbars. Just like any other martial art, it depends on who the fighter is. Especially nowadays, it seems like everyone is a black belt in BJJ in the UFC.

The full "Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey" paydays included:
Pat Healy: $22,500 (includes $5,000 win bonus)
def. Carlos Fodor: $12,000
Ryan Couture: $10,000 (no win bonus)
def. Conor Heun: $8,000
Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special bonuses Zuffa, LLC oftentimes pays.
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.

Although the Ohio Athletic Commission suspends all competitors for a minimum seven days, eight fighters received longer ones. In addition to Tate (left elbow), Souza (possibly broken hand), Bowling (possibly broken hand) and Heun (possibly broken hand) – who all can be cleared early by a physician to end the indefinite suspension – other suspensions went to:
Kazuo Misaki: Suspended 45 days to due a facial laceration
Alexis Davis: Suspended 30 days to due a facial laceration
Pat Healy: Suspended 30 days to due a head laceration
Brandon Saling: Suspended 30 days for precautionary reasons
