I'm a frost Mage as well, but I have absolutely NO idea about gems at all. So any and all advice for gemming would be great.
I was looking stuff up on the wowwiki on this page
http://www.wowwiki.com/Blue_Gem#Blue
and that's where I've been getting my info but I feel like it's very out of date.
If you have another reference that'd be great.
Also what are the +25 sp gems called?

I like to think of spell pen as a secondary "hit cap" so to speak.
Spell pen works by negating resistances to various spells. So, you're fighting a druid, he's gaining 80 IIRC while typing this, resistance to frost. Paladins will also switch to frost aura alot.
While more spell pen potential does increase the ammount of damage you do to them, I believe once you've gotten more than your enemy can resist against, spell power becomes more damage.
tl;dr answer.
Most mages shoot 120 SpPen for mirror matches. After than it's all haste and spell power.

So basically it's irrelevant how I get to 120-130 spell penetration, so long as I get there and then stack haste/spell power as high as possible.
I just want to make sure that I'm using the best of the best of gems, but I don't know where to find out what the best are...
