wotlk ret sealFollow

so, in some spare time at work today (um, that'd be my lunch time...) i pulled out some paper and did some preliminary math on how the new seals will scale.... i assumed my current gear, averaging my AP to 2000 for easier math (less than that unbuffed, more buffed so it worked as a rough average). it looks like i'll want to get a fast 1h and start most fights getting a 5 stack of vengeance as quick as possible and switching back to my 2h'er and switching to SoR for the bulk of the fight. this seems to be the max dps sealing for bosses at least with straight SoR being best dps for trash mobs... with a 5 stack SoV would have the highest judgement amount too (except for stunned SoC) so i'd prolly make a macro to seal SoV/judge to use when SoV is running out.... SoC and even SoB will be obsolete unless blizz buffs the coefficients of those 2 seals before WotLK goes live...

with 2k AP and the resulting 600 SP SoB will hit on average for 350 every swing, while SoR will be hitting on average for 560 every swing (with my gorehowl).

i'll have to play with the numbers more later to see how they all really scale, but its looking like the staple dps seals will be changing. and this isn't even taking into account the availability of talents to improve both SoR and SoV in the first tier of holy....

anyone else been playing with numbers and have any thoughts on this?

edit: also SoR will benefit from haste just as well as SoB would and far better than SoC does. SoV would stack faster with haste. with all the haste talents coming out in WotLK it seems SoV/SoR combo will win out by quite a bit...

only thing i didn't factor in is SoB/SoC crits and wether SoR will be able to crit... i'll do that math later when i have some more time...
