No.

Or, at least, it wouldn't be very efficient at all. Aside from the consideration that you aren't bursting anyone that frequently, spell penetration is wasted in most cases, especially for holy damage, since all it does is negate resistance effects from actual magic resist (and the only thing that gives holy magic resist, if anything, is MoTW), and not the inherent 5% pvp resist rate. If you did want to lessen that, you would have to gem spell hit (3% of which you should already have from precision).

But quite honestly I don't think offensive stats are ever an efficient use of sockets for a holy pally, since you rarely use offensive stats, and you can gain at least some spell damage from socketing +heal. How can you really ask if something is "efficient" for a permanent gem slot when you note that you'll use it only in "those few rounds"?
