I have the same problem I see some very well geared Frost DK's with arm-pen and strength gems. I assume from this arm-pen may be better, those with strength gems do so because they also have a unholy/blood spec making their gemming effective in both specs. But this is just an assumption.
I look forward to reading the reply's you get :p

Personally, I've tried gemming for ArP a few times. I'm not a big fan to be honest. It messes up my UH spec and cuts down a ton of damage from my AoE abilities (ie, for Lich King).
I suppose it's marginally better in single target though. I'll be re-gemming strength the next time an UH DK is needed somewhere.

From research and questioning, it's only better to gem ArP if you're near Hard Cap, take Potlol for example, he's over 1200. I currently gem Str/Haste because we have a high amount of crit already - let alone I have Herkuml War Token (Which gives me hella haste)
Basically, I'm going to make this short. Don't base your gemming off what people tell you, look at your stats, your Crit rating, ArP rating & Haste rating before anything. As I've said, I gem Str and Str/Haste because when KM Procs, FS is going to be a crit, and I get plenty of crits already. Base gemming off your gear, run constant sims. If I had more ArP I would, honestly, probably gem ArP (I want H Fanged Skull before I did that, as well)
EDIT: Before anyone asks "Why?" - If I were to gem straight ArP I would be losing the 7 sockets I have with Str/Haste, which is 70 haste (With Herkuml War Token it adds up to 224) which is quite a chunk. Now, with the Crit/ArP that will be on the gear already, it would make more sense (To me, what ever happened to theory crafting, btw?) to have H Whispering Fanged Skull because of the extra crit, and and it would benefit more because of all the haste I would be losing.
A good sim is on Elitist Jerks, should be the first one in the main post (Mr. Robot or something, don't remember) you can set your own rotation and priorities.
