Long story short: It works for aoe, but whenever any aoe lasts more than 10~ seconds SoV is better anyway.

Trash clearing. Small-group aoe grinding. Not knowing any better.

[Invisusira]

What I want to know is why.

Why do people use that?

"Because for quick trash pulls it's great!"

And SoV wasn't doing the job just fine?

"Well... it was... but this is... better! At doing the job just fine!"

I dunno either. I never use the damned thing. I use SoV alla damn time unless I'm soloing stuff and then I'm SoL or SoW.

Edited for picky picky pickyness.

You can JoL and JoW with SoV.

You can JoL and JoW with SoV.

Picky picky picky frickin' picky. SoL and SoL.

Picky picky picky frickin' picky. SoL and SoL.

No love for SoW?

Anyway >.> I don't even use those for most solos either. It's SoV all the way.

Seal of Command + Reckoning is superior burst and sustained threat to Seal of Vengeance if you're tanking four adds on anub 25 heroic (due to high reckoning uptime).

That spec would also pull ahead for Ony whelps for the same reason. That's about the only case where it's better though (high incoming attack rate from multiple mobs -> high reckoning uptime -> many SoCom procs).

I do see it being useful in ICC with certain trash mobs. As well as boss fights, as I heard a few bosses have add rushes.

SoC is already crap for Ret, why would any Prot Pally worth his salt take it?

That, pretty much. Pretty niche use.
