Armour penetration switch?

Hi As i understand it its not worth switching your gems to armour penetration until you have a decent amount of it on your gear. After going Combat maces a little while ago I switched all my gems to armpen.
I have 261 armour penetration on my gear and 361 with the sockets. Im thinking this is still pretty low? At this stage is it worth gemming for armour penertration or would i get more benfefit from straight attack power gems.
Hope someone can help
thankyou

ArP for rogues is a meh stat.
it's not worth to gem for it or even go for it on gear since the dps it provides is really the same as agility/ap.
now, with the nerf, it goes below the other two. go for agi if you have 4 pc t8, otherwise go AP all the time.
EDIT: forgot to say that as for my spreadsheet gemming for ArP (and getting the best gear with ArP on it) results in a great 3dps increase as combat, and in a 2dps decrease as mutilate.

ArPen is a stat that the more you stacked, the greater the reward is.
Check the formula(EJ has it). After you reached a certain level of AP, you may switch to ArPen.
The nerf of ArPen is going to decrease the theory-crafted dps by 3.5-5%.

If I am correct 3.2.2 is a long way off...
False. This is not the Cata. patch/expansion we're talking about here, but rather a patch that is possibly within the next month or two. There is no word on the exact date, obviously, but it's actually very soon.
It greatly concerns me as a feral druid, because we stacked it MUCH earlier than any other class, so my druid that has only been 80 for three weeks has to have a complete change in gems once the patch hits. :(

This patch is soon because as Blizzard stated, this patch will be applied long before the arena season ends.

They should refund all gold spent on armpen. Though this would probably take eons.

The patch comes out in november. If you don't get the cash needed to regem by then, you're hopeless.

Also note that it's not a big nerf, it's just a little adjustement probably because people are able to acheive too high ArP value with the current lvl of gear.
(like the nurf to the agi -> dodge last patch)
