This is..well, I suppose this fits here. I'm the MT of my guild and I have been letting my OT tank some fights, and as of late we've been having somewhat of a shortage on DPS warriors and melee in general--and my friend, our rogue leader, has asked me on certain fights where we have the tanks anyway to step into that DPS role. I did as such on Archimonde, and as a normal prot spec--9/5/47, not even 12/5/44--I was pumping out roughly 1500 DPS in about half PVP gear and half PVE gear, with Syphon MH/Swiftsteel OH(I upgraded the OH to S3). I've basically been doing some theorycrafting, and while obviously prot DPS cannot match up to fury or arms due to threat cap issues, I'd rather not respec when asked to DPS, so i'm going to..wing it as prot.

My general idea is, since much of my damage is yellow, to completely stack AP and Armor penetration, and have crit and hit as an afterthought. Any suggestions beyond this?
