Hallejuah, Ive seen the light, you've converted me, indeed its great but tell me, what would you take points out of my spec to spec with it?
(And dont say improved judgment Already gone over that)
I didn't see the part where we went over it, but anyway...
Given the choice between the two, I'll take GbtL over improved judgements any day. The reason it's there now is to improve your threat output with the ability to judge SoR or SoV every 8 seconds instead of 10. The need for added threat from judgement went out the window with the addition of the new Shield and Hammer talents. Judgement went from a primary and needed means of threat generation to an afterthought.
Meanwhile, those two points reduce the cost of your most costly spells. It's still a no-brainer.

Yeah, they already said drop the 2 from Imp. Judgements for Judgements of the Just.

Personally the spec i was looking at was:
http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=sVZV0tIxcdMgqeRGoVo
a 5/60/6
You should reconsider Divine Strength:
STR now converts 2:1 to Block Value
Hammer of Righteousness - based on AP
Shield Of Righteousness - based on BV
Seals/Judgements get AP bonus now

I can already see the next big debate topic as Seals of the Pure vs. Divine Strength for threat generation.

Nope, Benediction + Imp Judgements vs Divine Str.

I'll take a pass on Imp Judgements with HoR and SotR available for threat generation every 6 seconds. DS makes those two work better, so...

Hmm, it's kind of toss up it seems between those two abilities, SotP and DS, based on what gear itemziation is goign to look like.
WHat about seal of corruption? how is that going no factor into tanking, and talent choices?
Now that SoV and it's horde equivalent have been changed to proc on hit, it's a lot better. Right now, 20ppm + spell hit chance = uncertainty. When it works, it's the best tanking seal currently available. When it doesn't, bad things happen.

Personally I'll take DS and S. of the Pure :)
As Phil can tell you, I'm a huge fan of SoV for boss fights. But I'm also a Draenei so Anticipation + Racial Aura for a base 4% spell hit plus some misc spell hit from gear so my SoV stack tends to stay up. The new proc on hit mechanics will definitely make it more reliable across the board.
I will still miss Precision but on the other hand my aura will be better in WoTLK(+1% to all hit)

If I had enough spell hit to make SoV reliable, I'd be tempted to remove SoR from the hotbar, though you can't beat a quick JoR for instant threat at the beginning of a fight.
If they don't monkey around with the spell damage coefficient, SoV could replace SoR entirely when WotLK is out. Until then, I have to rely on SoR, even though I'd rather be using SoV.
