Survival PvP gem question

So i've finally got my pvp character to 80 and have been doing some PvP for a while now. Basically, i suck, but that's not why im posting...
Survival has some very nice scaling talents
Hunter vs. Wild
and
For example.
So its my understanding that with every new piece of pvp gear i get (i have around 4 pieces right now, and non of them are main body set parts) my Attack power will increase.
So here is my question.Do i gem for Crit? or Armor Pen? Considering i get high crit off gear itself and agility, is Armor pen the way to go?
Examples
Purple
Puissant Twilight Opal
Shifting Twilight Opal
Green
Jagged Forest Emerald
Steady Forest Emerald
Orange
Lucent Monarch Topaz
Deadly monarch Topaz
I feel like even with PvE gear that my Explosive shot is just doing sod all against plate.
Anybody else feel this? or is it just me
and be brutally honest.

Ok, imo, what you need in pvp is Agi, Crit, Stam, Res, more or less in that order since you dont wanna overdo it with the stam and res coz its alrdy alot of that on your pvp gear anyways. So why not gem for some more dmg output? Seeing that thers not much attackpower on those pvp items...
Agi because thers not rly that much of it on our pvp gear and Crit, well, lets face it to crit is good.;P Some may argue that more Crit is useless since players will have alot of res to counter it and that you should go for more AP gems but i think the more Crit you have with pvp gear the better.
Also i saw a few hunters using Spellpenetration gems in their pvp gear, maybe coz it helps Explosive Shot abit on players with fire resistance buffs etc. But i still have to find a source to back this up tbh so i cant rly recommend it at this point.
And to answer your question about Armorpen., as SV since Explosive Shot will be your main attack, more or less, i wouldnt recommend Armorpen. gems atall. Waste of sockets imo.
