I have a quick question.
You claim that the order of MR reduction/penetration is this:
% reduction
flat reduction
flat penetration
% penetration
But you claim that with MPen marks and quints, and sorc shoes, that you can get an enemy with 30 MR down to zero and then the abyssal scepter aura applies, bringing them down to -20. If the order applies correctly, here's how I see it:
% reduction: nothing, 30 MR enemy.
flat reduction: abyssal scepter 20, 10 MR enemy now.
flat penetration: 28.55 runes + boots, 0 MR enemy now.
% penetration: 15% penetration masteries, 0 MR enemy now.
If everything is applied in that order, then the abyssal scepter will apply before the penetration does, so that the excess penetration is useless. Is this the case, or am I doing something wrong?

Well that was just a derp.

In that case, I think the only way you're getting below 0 MR now is when nidalee's bushwhack is activated THEN the abyssal scepter aura is applied.
