It's still not as good as it is for a Warrior though, Reckoning is only a 10% chance on being hurt by a direct damage attack, and while it does mean your next four swings are doubled, a Warrior would still get in a significant amount of more hits in, say, a 5 minute time period. The same counts for if you were to count Windfury in; Windfury gets better the more swings you can get into a time period, and being able to use an instant swing every 1.5 seconds (A bit slower most likely for a few reasons) is better than having the occasional four extra swings.
I can remember doing some calculating on the subject of TF for a Paladin before, and it came out to be just a little bit worse than one of the myriad of 121 spell damage weapons out there. It's mostly good for the mitigation the attack speed slowing would provide.
Edit:
To the Paladin a few posts above this, the speed for a weapon is inconsequential when it comes to Seal of Righteousness, the ability is scaled in a manner that the amount of extra Holy DPS you get from having it active is a constant. The only exception being that the DPS of Seal of Righteousness is higher with a two-hander than a one-hander, but this is unrelated to the weapon's speed.
