In PvE where only few mobs have resistances, especially with Curse of Elements, spell penetration's value is minimal and situational at best. The Hungarfen in Heroic Underbog, for example, have some Nature Resistance that Spell Penetration is useful against, and the Greater Lava Spiders in Searing Gorge have some Fire Resistance. It has been estimated that Rage Winterchill has approximately 200 Frost Resistance and that Supremus has approximately 200 Fire Resistance. Spell penetration serves little to no purpose in PvE other than these handful of examples from Burning Crusade encounters when a Curse of Elements is absent.
