Maybe you're the one that should learn to read hmm?
No, as of right now there are no planned ArP nerfs for 3.3. Whoever is behind on their information and must be thinking of the nerf in 3.2.2 or the complete removal in 4.0.
It's not being removed in patch 4.0. It just won't appear on any new gear in Cataclysm (which will likely arrive a short while after patch 4.0).

I say, " Try being an enhance sham vs. a rogue in BC."
Thank you
Because that is a completely relevant arguement.
ArP is still too strong for the classes that want it, and is taking up valuable item points on a useless stat for retribution paladins.

LOL, no. No one here has any inside information. If the OP didn't see it in the patch notes he shouldn't be so gullible and learn to trust his or her own eyes.
Frozen Core: This talent now also causes Ice Lance critical strikes to reduce the cast time of the mage's next Frostbolt or Frostfire Bolt by 0.4/0.7/1 seconds.
This one is still in ptr patch notes, yet it was removed...

ArP...is taking up valuable item points on a useless stat for retribution paladins.
blizz could always replace the still useful ArP with spirit or spell pen for you guys if you think it's that useless
No, there's no posted ArP nerf which makes sence seeing as blizzard already addressed the matter and it would be redundant to only fix it half assed knowing they'd have to do it again

No way to say for sure if they'll do that (unless I missed a blue post which is very possible), or raise other stats like hit, crit, and expertise, or just...do nothing. Undoubtedly once 4.0 drops, things will be tumultuous for awhile, with a lot of balancing and rebalancing. This is a very major change. Remember, they're also redoing the talent system, so it's possible plate DPS could see a buff there.

It's not exactly a removal, more of a redistribution really.
All pre-cata gear will look the same but all new gear won't show ArP as an "on equip" stat but you'll still acquire it from other means, hit rating i believe.
Similar to how AP and SP won't show on cata gear and will instead be acquired via intellect, strength, or agility respectively, the stat still exists you just obtain it differently.

With the removal of Armor Pen I can expect Strength on Plate DPS gear to jump to compensate?
No, not directly. You'll have mastery rating though, which would probably give some armor penetration to DPS warriors.

Hit rating will not become armor penetration as far as I'm aware. Mastery, however, could well be another story, since that will be giving spec-dependent bonuses (so both DPS warrior and prot warriors will want mastery rating, but it will actually give them different benefits that suit their different roles).
