When does socketing armor penetration benefit the most? People have told me 20% from gear, and then socket for it. Also, when does Steady Shot become better than Arcane Shot, ArP-wise? I've been told several about ArP, and I'm not convinced either way, so please, I need some guidance on this.

If you can reach 481-534 ArPen with the trinkets Mjolnir/Grim respectively, or 465-518 if you have Mixology. At this point you're ArPen capped with trinket procs, and you drop Arcane from your rotation. This is assuming you're using Hearty Rhino and Elixir of Amour Piercing. If not then add 40 ArPen in the absence of Hearty Rhino and 45(61 Mixology) ArPen in the absence of the Elixir.
Apparently Mjolnir's tooltip is wrong? Odd. Also, the point in which ArPen exceeds Agility is ~650.
Examples of Hunter's in each scenario presented by Kripparrian,
ArPen capped with Mjolnir
750+ ArPen, no trinket

So there's no use socketing unless you have a MASSIVE amount from gear, correct?
Fyi: I don't have any ArP Trinkets.

So what's the percentage I should be at before I socket?

Well, as guys said before, U need around 500 ArP from Your gear plus trinket. Food and elixir gives 85 alltogether so U need 420 from gear. If U can exchange lets say ten 16Agi red gems for ten 16ArP red gems U need 420-160= 260 from gear. Of course U gonna loose 160 Agi from dropping red gems and some AP from not using a AP flask and food... If U got some money, buy those ArP gems and practise in Naxx. If U fail to improve U can go back to Agi gems:) Its gonna cost U I guess about 1K gold... (at least on my server it would)

You gem for ArPen if/when you can reach the Hard cap with a trinket+buffs.

So I'm better off sticking with agility no matter what?

What if you don't have a trinket that procs ArP, then is it worthless altogether?

I dps as much as possible in every situation where applicable. If I know I'm going to be moving, I optimize my attacks for cooldowns and as less casting as possible. I know the fights and mechanics of bosses very well, but ArP is the only mystery I have still yet to solve.

Yeah, there's so many opinions on it I can't even comprehend the facts. All I know is I want Arcane Shot out of my Marks. Rotation.
