You should not gem ArP, Just stack STR and Spell Pen + Crit.

You get Arp from the higher gear and gear in general. Never Stack it thats plain and simple. Blood Stack Strenght that it after we hit our soft caps.

I've been gemming for ArP with about half my gems especially since the new ICC raid has come out, I've been getting the 6k atk power cap (soft mind you) and I'm noticing after that point it's better to go for ArP. If you run GS addon then you should be at roughly 5200-5400 before you start.
Oh dear.
Strength is better than ArP because very rarely is there one target to attack and ArP does little for AoE compared to Strength's gains. There is no soft cap on AP, keep collecting strength! Using gearscore for gear comparison is bad. Also, while there are lots of DK spell attacks, you don't want to gear up hit just for that.

Might i plz say that ICC and ToTC are raids and in both raids the bosses are primarily single target, plz dont tell me about the adds in anub, HS hits 2 targets, plz dont tell me about trash, its called trash for a reason. Whilst it is better to gem for strength gemming ArP is a reasonable thing to do if you have a crap load of Str
There is no "soft cap" of AP. There are no diminishing returns on AP. Having a "crap load" of str is no reason to stop gemming for it.
ArP is worse then STR, plain and simple. You are gimping your DPS - only slightly on single targets but by quite a lot on AoE - and wasting your gold.
By the way: Snowbolds, Mistresses, Adds for Anub (yes they do count, they need to go down fast in heroic), the whole faction champs encounter, the whole gunship battle, lady deathwhisper ... all fights in which higher disease damage (higher AoE) will help. And you are saying ICC and TotC are single target fights? Then you are doing it wrong! Why do you think unholy dps is so popular these days? Exactly because almost all fights have a lot of opportunities for heavy AoE.
