As for the rotation, remember that when redoubt is active you can actually let your holy shield wait for a concentration+judge+reseal. Depending on what portion of your threat is from holy shield blocks this might be a TPS loss, although I highly doubt it after glancing again at the OP's TPS from spell damage values. Figuring out redoubt's uptime to calculate actual TPS is a big problem, but figuring out whether you gain or lose tps by delaying HS when redoubt is active shouldn't be.
A poor choice given that our white damage is a very very small source of threat, and 10% strength when you only have 130ish is a very minuscule amount of block value. Imp SoR is more for Holy Paladins who want to solo farm as holy, not for protection. The 15% bonus occurs on the base damage of the ability, the effect is not calculated with your spell damage, which means it doesn't scale at all with your spell damage/gear level.

Also, dropping points from parry like you mentioned is definitely not something I would recommend for any tank. Avoidance is a wonderful thing, and while I prefer the consistency of blocks as a tank and as a healer, it's not something you can overlook gaining 1% avoidance for 1 talent point.
