Precise strikes gives you armor+spell penetration but mobs have no armor and no protection :D Go for full crits and dark weapon.

You can test it on straw man. Damage dont change with penetration or without. Straw man = mob.
But to be honest im not sure about T4/5 bosses - im not a pveer and dont know if some of them can cast +armor/protection buffs on themselves. As i remember, 6-mans bosses havent buffs like that but ive done 6-mans about 3 years ago last time :)
Hmm... May be so, sorry for desinfo if they really have... As i said, i had serious pve tooo long time ago so may be it was changed somehow... But anyway Dark Weapons feat is way better than penetration. And if you can pick Dread Weapon somehow it will be really good.
The thing here is we are discussing ~30 to 40 dps ,50 in best cases and depending in encounter better or worse for 5 point feats that are mostly fillers.For most of the content Dark weapons>Precise strikes.Unholy strength sucks balls.Yes you can argue more damage comes from Swift strikes and whatnot in your parses but that 5% has almost zero impact...It's all in the crits and hitting sides with no shields on that makes a difference and that's it.
IMO - Best DPS spec possible
Cons - Missing charge, fear and dull pain
