I know that the connection between arms and deadlifts may not be apparent at first, but there is indeed a link (IMO).
Take the squat for example. It doesn't just work your quads, or you glutes, or your hammies, it works a ton of stuff all over your body. One side effect of a compound movemnet like this is that it has a tendancy to cause the body to release a larger amount of natural GH than usual. Some people call it the king of mass builders.
The dead lift is very much the same. It's a big, compound movement that works a tone of larger muscles, most of all the back. Not only are you increasing your overall strength, but you're making your back stronger. In the long run, a stronger back is going to lead to bigger weights in the rest of your back routine. That will also lead to bigger, stronger bicepts, as the bicepts are an assisting muscle of almost any back excersize.
I'm sure there are a million other reasons why deads will help you grow bigger bi's, along with stronger other things, but those are a few that I can think of off the top of my head.
Just remember-- a large percentage of guys at any gym are going to do 4, 5, sometimes even 6 diffrent bicept or tricept excersize in an attempt to get massive guns. Sadly, almost all of them will look the same a year from now as they do now. You gotta be able to step back and look at the over all picture if you want to break away from the pack and grow like we know we can.
