Spell penetration for PVE

I did CoS hc with an arcane mage today, when I inspected his gear I noticed that he had gemmed for spell penetration (I think he even used +20 spell pen in a red slot). When I asked him why he said he "needed it" (for PVE).
The question is, who was a noob here?
1. Him for using 3-4 gem slots for spell pen-gems?
2. Me for thinking spell pen is PVP only (at least almost)?
Enlighten me please, fellow wowheads.

He is an idiot.
From wowwiki:
...this formula renders level 83 bosses as having 15 magical resistance against level 80 player attacks. Unlike all other magical resistance in the game, this resistance from level difference cannot be overcomed by spell penetration.
Its similar mechanics as lowered crit chance against lvl 83 mobs and glancing blows for melee.

I know a mage in my guild who insists that they saw a difference in the amount of their damage that was being resisted after they popped in some Spell Pen gems. Is there any theorycraft on this subject?
