SS or Obliterate - 0/17/54 PvP

I've been running with the following spec; but I have a n00bzorz question since I just got into PvPing on my DK (would like to start arenas soon).
0/17/54
Should I be using Obliterate or SS? They both use the same runes, and I can obviously glyph in either direction. What should be my focus? Dmg on either didn't seem to be far exceeding the other for me to make a definitive decision.
I've been seeing a lot of people saying not to use Chains to often and rely on Desecration for the snare, so you have more runes for SS... But again that leads me to; why SS over Oblit?
Thanks,

So, is there any purpose in even placing Oblit on my bar. LOL. I'd rather move it way the hell off to a high number slot and throw something I use more frequently in it's position. (useless post)
Anyway... so I'll stick with SS and glyph for it; the Shadow dmg piece makes complete sense.
I assume that STR is my primary stat and I should be moving toward as much AP as I can. Is it 2AP / 1STR? Should I opt for AP over STR on gear if I have the option? My personal assumption on stat focus is (pvp related):
Str > AP > Resil > Crit
What else should I focus on?

I take it the only thing to watch out for with Scourge Strike is vs'ing up against a Paly who switches off to shadow resistance... Keep OB on the bar just in case?

First of isn't SS shadowdmg? there for it ignores armor.
Also, if your going for BG's go with a frost/blood spec, use Death strike to generate RP and once you reach about 130 dish out 4 frost strikes (first to will crit due to KM and Deathchill) so you'll do about 15k dmg which can't be blocked dodged or parry'd.
If your going for arena's you should run a SS build, with alot of anti-magic etc. can't see your current spec, armory is bugged. But you will have to choose

Yea, currently in the Unholy build which, based upon what you guys have stated above, is the SS build...
Did a Blood / Frost spec first, but I've seen a lot of people posting about how terrible blood is atm... Switch to Unholy and things seem to be panning out, except my confusion around SS.
