I used to use arrow keys, but TF2 only allowed WASD ( at the time i had no idea i could change the settings) So i grew into it and learned that it was much more comfortable.

I used to use arrow keys, but I find WASD more comfortable since your hand is not so close to my house, since I'm right handed, it also allows you to each other keys MUCH faster.

I used to play Right Handed (therefore used the Arrow Keys)... But since I write with my left, it is easier for me to used the WASD keys.

I tend to use the WASD set up, because I like to keep my other hand on my mouse. Even if the game doesn't use the mouse, years of playing WoW and LoL have marked that as the most comfortable position for my hands. WASD also allows me to rest me left thumb comfortably on the space bar, which I find is used in a lot of games.

Its arrow keys for me and i think that's because i'm right handed. But i don't like it when some games are only WASD. I just find it more comfortable to use arrow keys and easier if you have a game witch is fast and you need concentrate. I find i mess up more with WASD controls.

When a mouse is involved, I use WASD.

Just like dank40, I use WASD when I use mouse. It's like FPS shooters. Arrow keys are harder than WASD (IMO) unless you're really good at using arrow keys and mouse. It depends on one's self.
