armor pen is really only a must for blood dps. unholy dps doesnt use as many strike abilities as the other 2 specs for their dps.
Also, the acronym for armor penetration is ArP, AP stands for Attack Power. Pretty sure you didnt do 25man nax with zero attack power.

Oh well PS, BS and SS are still strike and they are in the normal UH rotation so you are bit wrong :) UH is more "magical" but like 60% or more of his damage come from strikes (SS over all).
SS is magical, hate to break it to you.
But sure if you wanna stack expertise so your BS and PS hits more often, be my guess. Tell me how well that works out for you.

Expertise is for all our strikes... Why you mentioned only the 2 weaker? O_o
Because SS is magical. expertise only effects physical attacks, not magical attacks. SS is basically a spell that requires melee range to use.

Scourge strike is a melee ranged, strike, requiring a melee weapon, dealing shadow damage and expertise DOES affect Scourge strike.
Just look at Frost strike, it's a frost damage dealing strike with the text "Cannot be dodged, parried or blocked". As SS doesn't contain this information, we can safely assume that SS can be dodged/parried.

Scourge Strike does magical damage but it is a melee attack. Aka can be dodged/parried. It is not a spell.

SS _IS_ affected by Expertise. Its damage is _NOT_ affected by armor, however.
ArP is not amazing or necessary for Unholy. If gear has it and its an upgrade, use it. But there is no reason to stack it for Unholy.
