ok so i havnt tanked a ton, been planning on getting into it for caty but ive had a lot going on, so forgive me if i have bad information.
so from what i gather pally tanking is now on a priority system, gos something like
SOTR/WOG when you have 3 stacks of holy power, Hammer of the Rightous whenever its up, Avengers Shield whenever HOR is on CD, Consecration whenever avengers shield and HOR is on CD, judgement when cons, avengers, and HOR are all on CD, and holy wrath if none of the above are availible. this is what i was told by an in game friend at any rate.
my question is if avengers shield takes priority over HOR mostly because there have been a few times when ive used HOR above AS, just to have AS reset itself even though it wasnt on CD so it seems like a waste.
also unless vengence is stacked high SOTR dosnt hit for very much, so i wonder if that should only used if
is up
thank you in advance and i apologize if im a nub lol

The short answer is "No, never." HoR (or the single-target CS) is always number one priority, because not only does it have solid damage, but it is churning out your holy power, which is key to your overall DPS. To munchkin to your highest threat, you MUST CS/HoR each time it comes off cooldown, or suffer a net DPS decrease.
/AS is your strong ranged-drag and interrupt, so its usually wisest to leave it cooled and ready when on trash anyway.

sometimes i have agro issues using CS, it seems like people pull off me unless i use HOR for the holy dmg, any advice on that?

Also no one pointed out, you're not using SOTR for just the dmg - it also gives you block

Technically, depending on your spec, any "finisher" will give you Holy Shield, so it's not an issue.
