My opinion on this, seems like you might not be doing enough for arms. Try switching up your routine - you could consider giving arms their own day for a while - or just add exercises to your current routine.
My personal split, as my arms were having problems growing too -
Day1: Chest/bis
Day2: Back/Traps
Day3:Rest
Day4: Shoulders/Tris
Day5: Legs
Day6:rest
Day7: repeat
On a given day, such as for chest/bis - i'll do 4 exercises for chest (3-4 sets of each exercise) and follow up with 3 exercises (3-4 sets per exercise) for bis.
Just some thoughts bro...i hope others will critique this as well...

I would agree with cb25...you are not doing that much for your arms. Several of your other movements give your arms some attention, but very little focus on the arms.
I have used a split similar to the one cb mentioned, but I chnage mine pretty regularly to keep interested. I also modify it based on injury or lagging areas.
Right now I have changed a little due to an elbow problem, but here it is..
Monday: chest
Tuesday: back
Wednesday: shoulders
Thursday: bi's / tri's supersets
Friday: legs
Another area that varies greatly for each individual is the number of sets per muscle group that an individual can work, without overtraining. I used to overtrain arms, then I had trouble with tendonitis. Now I do 12 sets per muscle group. Sometimes I will add a set or two on a different finishing movement. I might even up the set number for larger muscles.
Good luck.
