It is just one of the many dps weapons that is now a tanking weapon for us.
We get threat from attack power, and high weapon dps.

armor penetration is useless for us.
and +20 strength is better than +40 spell power or even +43 spell power, for every situation.

executioner is useless, pally threat is holy damage, holy is binary damage and also spell damage therefore armour penetration might give WOAH 1-5tps while a potency (20str) would give at least double that and block value.

Armor penetration is not useless for anyone trying to gain threat.
It is when the vast majority of your threat (Holy damage) ignores armor.
And furthermore, regardless whether or not executioner stacks ( i have heard it does) it is a threat generating chant.
What exactly is it going to stack with? It's a self-buff, and Prot paladins are rather lacking in armor penetration talents and gear.
Executioner is vastly inferior to Potency for a tankadin.

Well, Holy dmg does not ignore armor.
ie: judgement of command hits for 1285 dmg (3200) resisted.
Also, as armor decreases dmg done increases.
ie:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Formulas:Armor_penetration
holy damage is binary so unless it has been change at late, (doubtful) its not resistable (well its an all or nothing thing), and to further continue that point SPELL DAMAGE IGNORES ARMOUR. why do you think a tank will take a 8k pyro crit just like a clothy would, and with using judgement of command to back up your point sounds like a ret pally trying to tell a tank how to tank... why don't you just go back to pvping and leave the tanking to people who know what they are doing?

Armor reduction alone is very high threat. ie: sunder armor.
Executioner is a self-buff. It applies only to your attacks, not to those of other players. All it affects is the Prot Paladin's abilities, and the only non-Holy damage ability tankadins use to generate threat is auto-attacking.
I agree that that the 20 strength is a great way to get a variety of positive results, none of which create "high threat".
Putting something in quotes does not make the phrase inherently meaningful. Potency generates more threat for a tankadin than Executioner.
a 1.5 speed 92dps weapon with executioner is going to provide "high threat" often coupled with huge hammer of righteous dmg.
HotR
is Holy damage. Executioner has no effect on it.
rest of word salad skipped
Either go educate yourself in tanking or troll somewhere else.
