Two fold question:
Which is better for leveling / grinding out quests,
Seal of Blood
or
Seal of Command
?
Also with the changes to PvE for Exorcism, is it worth it to pickup the
Glyph of Exorcism
vs the other glyphs?

Command is bad.

If your not at the level for Seal of Blood, nothing wrong with getting Seal of Command glyph. Then trade it out once you get Seal of Blood.
You can't go wrong with picking up Glyph of Judgement, and Glyph of Excorcism. I see a lot of people take the third as either Glyph of Consecrate of Seal of Blood.
Both of which are just mana-efficiency glyphs.

Glyph of exorcism is good. Get it.
Use command for leveling. It's really better. There's nothing wrong with being able to force crits and aoe grind. It's harder to aoe grind with SoB(M), and you will actually go oom faster.(not sure about with the new glyph tho, but you will be more crit dependent).

I'm not sure what you mean by that at all. Seal of Blood/Martyr increases your AoE damage dramatically, Command does nothing for it.

It also dramatically increases your chance of dying. Multiple Blood/Martyr crits at the same time lots of mobs are beating on you can make a dead pally really fast.
Blood/Martyr are group or raid DPS seals, command is usually better for solo play.

Use seal of blood if you can keep up with the damage output it gives you. Bad choice to use it if your soloing and hav "Seath of light" talent and this spell power will give you increased dmage to them (good) but more to you (bad) if you have the health to spare then use SoB and Glyph of Exo is ok don't like to use it personally but for high spell power retadin's sounds ok.

With the insane amounts of ret paladins these days AoE has transformed into killing mob #1 and having mob #2 at 95% HP when mob#1 dies.

Blood does very little self damage, especially the seal part of it.

The new glyph of SoB might make it viable for grinding/questing.
When I leveled my pally, I used SoCo and would aoe grind 4-8 mobs at a time, and had no problems keeping myself alive with aow procs, DS, and JoL. With SoB(M) you are more reliant on you critting for AoW procs because the "backlash" of SoB(M) uses up the DS and JoL self healing on it's own, meanwhile you still have mobs beating on you.
I had the problem of actually needing to heal myself with SoB(M), while with SoCo, I could just grind away, and only had to heal myself if I had 4+ mobs on me. This means you go OoM faster, and actually have to drink, while SoCo with JotW procs will keep your mana and health up.
It's preference, and I don't know if the new glyph negates the mana usage from healing yourself constantly.

You don't heal yourself constantly because you don't take that much damage.
Why are you pulling 8 mobs at once as ret? That's just poor planning.

Howd this get onto a topic on AoE grinding?
Anyways, I picked up the Glyph of Exorcism and it seems to be helping more than the one I had for Command. Also I currently have the Glyph of Judgement for 10% more damage, but I may swap it out for the Glyph of Blood. It doesn't matter in the end, I think I'd still own even with a fishing rod equipped. Thanks for the replies.

Because if you are wearing plate and pulling less than 4 mobs its a waste of what you could be doing.
