I prefer using spells like frostbite and conductivity over elemental penetration support gems. Mainly because with the latter, the gem gets used all the time, even against non-resistant enemies. I'd rather use spells only when needed and save the support gem slot for something that is more useful all the time.
On a side note... My shadow just made it to Act II. So far, my initial plan for the build seems to be working well. I'm using Arc, supported by increased critical damage as my lightning AoE. For melee skills I have whirling blades supported by increased melee damage and viper strike.
Playing a shadow has been great fun. This is the first game I've ever enjoyed playing melee before.
