1.9 Update on official site

[Kevin]

As it is now I have a choice between using my big 2 hander and SoC to do damage, or I can use Hanzo sword + shield to always have full mana and lower damage.  If the strike is added i get the best of both worlds, full mana and added dps.

I don't know. I judge wisdom with my big too hander and use SoC all the time. When command procs I get a chance to get mana back from the command proc as well. Regardless the procs of judged wisdom almost always pay for the seal, the judgement and the command seal again if they don't get me more mana than I started with. Since judgement is 11% of base mana (not total mana, mana from items isn't used in base calcs) it only takes about 5 - 6 procs of judged wisdom to get all the mana back from putting it up, judging it and firing rank one command (it would be nice if there were a point in the higher ranks of command). Since I'm looking at about 6 to 12 swings per mob that is 1 to 3 procs of command per fight (depending on mob) so you get 7 to 15 chances for judged wisdom to proc and judged seals proc pretty frequently. If I'm lower on mana for whatever reason I'll blessing of wisdom myself and since it is improved get my 36 per tick of that back. Having that up pretty much means I can run SoC all the time after judging wisdom even if I'm killing faster. Sure I lose the DPS that improved might gives me but I can sustain longer.

I will of course hunker down and put the one hander on judge wisdom, run the wisdom seal and have blessing of wisdom go and be mana positive doing piddly damage. Sometimes I run command with the one hander and wisdom judged to help up the damge some while keeping that higher mitigation and get more chances at mana returned since righteousness doesn't seem to proc a judged wisdom.

Again this is PvE. PvP I'm not sure it would be worth judging anything at all right now with the way things stand but my pally hasn't done a heck of a lot of PvP.
