PvP Pally questions

Hello all, I'm new to pallys.. just recently hit 80. I decided to go with ret after messing around with prot a bit. I have a few questions that i can't seem to find answers for.
I was looking at a spec where the guy didn't have seal of command.. which is the seal i always use. Is he a nub or is there a better choice for a seal to use? Same for blessings.. i'm torn on which one to have on durring PvP... even auras. I dont feel like the ret aura will do enough dmg to matter much in PvP.
I'm also unsure what stats i should be mostly going for. I'm mostly all Str and Stam.. with some int where i can.. bad thing is that i'm 80 with a mana pool of 6k. Is that standard for ret pallys or should i be getting more int so i dont burn it up so fast? What about crit vs. hit vs. expertise and all that? i've mostly been leaning toward crit.
So far i like PvP as a pally but i can't help but feel i'm doing something totally wrong. lol. Thanks, and sorry for the newbie questions.

Seal: Command does fairly well, but many rets now use blood/martyr since you will always hit with it, command misses around 1/3'rd of the time at my count and that can be that last second heal that stopped your killing blow. Also, i suggest Judgment of justice, for the chance at stun
Blessing: Kings imo, 2k more hp, a bit of mana, and increases to other stats make it a well rounded PvP blessing.
Aura: I use dev most of the time, except for when i'm healing out of bubble, where I use cons for a little clearer casting
Stats: Up to about 200 hit is a good idea to try and ensure that a vast majority of your hits land, str and stam are both good for PvP. As far as int goes, I wouldn't worry about it a whole lot, divine plea + replenishment + judgement mana returns are usually enough to keep you going for awhile. Crit is also a good thing to work toward. When you start getting some PvP gear, look for things with resil on them, a good amount of resil (300+) can keep you alive (as it reduces crit dmg and dot dmg)

Thanks a ton Zyphero. I guess it's all about managing your pally according to whats happening at any given time. Funny story: i'm an 80 pally... and i never even friggin noticed seal of blood and seal of corruption(?).. i logged back in real fast last night to check "i'll be damned.. i do have them... wow." lol
