  penetration "cap" doesnt really exist
  
  in terms of "effective" penetration there is a soft cap, which is how much armor the target has
  
  in veteran PVE content the absolute highest penetration you need between your own penetration and -armor debuffs (major and minor breach) is 18200
  
  since your talking about pvp more, you would need a significantly higher penetration number to completely ignore a targets armor since many people run 33k (or more) armor
  
  another note for pvp is that crit dmg is less useful there, due to cp everyone has built in crit resistance (like 1300 or so) and most avid pvpers will probably have between 2500-3500 crit resistance
  
  using a set like balorghs can give you extremely high penetration (like +12k) if you use 500 ultimate for 10 sec, on top of whatever your base pen is and then account for debuffs on the target
  
  if your in pvp dealing with a zerg, and you want ranged penetration, there is the option of the hew and sunder set, where you get a large penetration bonus after landing a heavy attack (like ~1000 pen per enemy within 8 meter of the target)
  
  going full penetration helps with killing a player, by ignoring armor you will be hitting harder, but i dont think there is any skill you can use that will do 30k+ dmg in 1 attack (unless your say a bomber and you get a good bomb then you could nuke an entire zerg)
