Re: How to build up Spell Penetration?

Tetraz, the way to assess that is to look at how you cast spells.

Assume a 45 second internal cooldown the static value of embroidery is approx calculated as 250 * (15 / (45 + 5 to proc)) = approx 75 sp

For affliction, I'd say the embroidery isn't very good (lots of dots that don't proc).
For destro, the embroidery might be better, but depends how well you can capitalise on the proc. After all, I doubt that you can stand and nuke very long.

Also, when assessing the stats (75sp -vs- 35 spen) you need to consider other factors of pvp play. E.g. critical CC resist or critical moment that is independent of your proc e.g. the healer is 20% health and the nuke needs to hit now!

As you can see, there is never a clear cut answer for pvp. Rather, you can state the values of each one and make an assessment.
