SoR to be the new tanking choice for pallys?

From the patch notes: "Seal of Righteousness now can be activated by any melee ability, not just single target melee abilities. This adds Hammer of the Righteous (the physical component) and Divine Storm to the list of abilities that can activate this seal. In addition, Seal of Righteousness procs can now be critical effects."
What do you think, going SoR all the way (trash mobs/bosses) or use SoR for trash mobs and SoV for single target (bosses)? I like this new change to SoR.
and this: "Glyph of Seal of Truth expertise bonus now also works when Seal of Righteousness is active".

Bosses are defiantly still going to be SoT. Quick trash might be SoR if you feel like switching. The 4.0 heroics, might be a good place for that since stuff has lower hit points, and target switching requires effort. For the new ZG/ZA instances tho, either most of your trash is going to be too much AOE for it really to mater anyways, or 2-4 targets were target switching will yield much more DPS.
The Glyph change, and the Crit effects change, are all a Ret AOE DPS boost. Tanking is pretty much going to remain the same.
If they would move
up 2 levels in the Ret tree, then it would be a different story. Nom nom nom seal of cleave!

I have excellent gear and stats but, I have too much difficulty relying upon other healers when tanking. I stacked expertise where I could get it (up to around 26-28) and tend to use Seal of Insight to tank with, unless I'm having aggro issues vs. some high-output DPS. (Or, if some crazy heroic boss wants me to "break myself upon his body...")
I'm curious how the new changes are going to feel. Once I can play the game, that is. The patch wouldn't complete downloading, so I'm reinstalling the game fresh right now, and then will have to set up my UI. Ugh.

Second that. A nice 10Gb download at lowest possible speed. Not that my internet is that bad, but it just wont go over 400Kbps... -.-

Just a thought.
Here's another!
Drop the expertise, and use SoT to get threat, then once you have threat swap to SoL. You won't need heals at the start of a fight, and once you have threat, you won't need expertise to keep it. So give yourself more survivability , and that way it won't be wasted when you have a healer that you can rely on.
Cheers,
Hat
