SRS and fire pen

Been considering making a new summoner, and having srs as my active skill to back up some minions... and was looking over some tips and such before I got to it. I noticed no recommendations to link SRS with fire pen. Any reason for this? Seems to me that with added phys, added fire, and fire pen they would get some good damage boosts that would also largely penetrate resistances.

Am I missing something, or simply over estimating the effectiveness of penetration + added fire?

Just other better options. Minion damage. melee phys, splash damage, echo,Empower, added fire
I'm not sure, but I think the reason is that you will get a better damage output with SRS + Minion Damage + Melee Physical damage + Minion Speed + Empower + Melee Splash/ Multistrike than with added fire and fire pen.
I'm not sure, though.
But you'd have to swap two gems to get the fire pen + added fire.

In the current league, this is the optimal 6L SRS setup. Minion and totem elemental resistance support gem would be used against the boss (if you happen to use grip of the council, it would be even better). The reduction in spirits makes echo not mandatory anymore.



Edit: Fire penetration shines when your base damage is all fire damage. In the case of SRS, it is 50% converted to fire. Even if you use added fire damage gem, it would not be as good and you are using another gem slot for something better.
