Either RP or Nooble did a massive calculation on this a while back, but I can't find it without premium search feature.
You're about 30 steps behind.

If you meant to refute my post then lol. If not... well, ok? We've already gone over that.
I'm not quite sure how you think my post did or did not refute your post. You said that armor pen is only useful vs plate wearers compared to clothis when there is no healing taking place.
What you either fail to realize or are completely ignoring is that in full arena gear (assuming same season), warriors and paladins aren't that far ahead of any other class in terms of total HP.
If there is a healer there, the healer will be healing for similar percentages of the persons life whether it is a warrior, warlock, rogue, mage, or whatever.
Based on this, armor pen reduces Time To Live by the same amount no matter how much armor your target has (which you already agreed with) and the healing from the healer would increase their Time To Live by about the same amount, based on small variations in total HP.
Looking at that, armor pen is just as effective vs a plate wearer as it is vs a mail wearer, leather wearer, or cloth wearer.
Granted, the absolute Time To Live is calculated as a percent, but you would still shave off 10% (made up number just for comparison's sake) of a warriors Time To Live, just like you would for a mage, rogue, or shaman.
