Spell rotation in WrathFollow

After looking through the changes in Wrath what do you think a good holy/ret paladin's spell rotation will be. Blizzard removed seal of the crusader and righteousness. Also it appears like judgements have changed.

Has anyone done any experimentation on ptr or beta realms?

Also how would you put a judgement and seal spell on the same key without shift? Is there a way to check to see if a seal is active in macros?

Also how do you unleash Blood/martyr or vengeance/corruption? There are no judgements for these seals unlike wisdom, light and justice.

seal of the crusader is gone, yes. Seal of Righteousness is still alive and doing quite well. and yes, the whole judge/seal system is different now. seals aren't used up by judgement, last 2 minutes and most scale on both AP and SP. there's 3 judgements of which isdom and light are the 2 you'll want used in PVE and prolly only nead Justice in PVP. also both seals and judgements activate the GCD now.

no, you can't check to see if a seal is active to the best of my knowledge. only way i know to do this is a nomod/mod:shift type macro.

there are 3 judgements. each of the does a base amount of damage (20% of AP and 32% of SP at the moment) and depending on the seal activates it. for example... as a ret pally i tend to use Seal of the Martyt on the Beta except when my healers are havng a hard enough time keeping the tanks up. so put on Seal of the Martyr. go into combat and use judgement of wisdom. this will deal the base damage (judgement part)+ 45% of my weapon damage (which is the SotM part of the judgement) and also but the JoW debuff on the target (of the Wisdom part of the judgemet). so seal of the martyr is still my curent seal, the mob has JoW up on him and i did a decent amount of damage to the mob. Seal of Light and Seal of Wisdom do nothing special when you judge them. if they are the active seal, you do base judgement damage and apply whichever judgement you used.

the 3 judgements are Judgement of Wisdom, Judgement of Light and Judgement of Justice.

overall this gives you more flexibility in which seal/judgement to use which has felt very easy and convenient in the Beta (presumably the ptr too). honestly i think you'll take maybe 2 mins playing with it before you'll fully get the hang of how it works and wonder how you ever did it any other way ;)
