Do you want your strangulates to land on priests and paladins?

You have just answered your own question.

Not to mention well, almost anything else you can throw at them aswell.

they are not really neccesary as a blood specced DK, but due to the majority of DKs speccing unholy for pvp makes spell penetration mandatory.

Unholy DKs deal shadow damage, priests and druids have buffs for shadow resist.
There's the explanation.

Not 100% correct.

Unholy DKs (commonly speced 0/2x/5x) deal more frost then shadow damage.
An not only priests and druids have resistances, other DKs, mages and paladins have either.

so if you are blood you use spell penetration just for COI?

and strangulate. and mind freeze. and mark of blood. all those cooldown abilities that you only get one shot at and royally screw you over if you get a resist

FYI, Mindfreeze is a BIG one. Spell pen is a MUST for this reason if none other.
