Confirmed the partial seal damage from each stack before hitting 5 of SoV.

Given this recent change to partial ramping up, we can safely conclude that SoV is equal to SoR if the target lives 12 seconds. This is based on the fact that SoV ramps up to full speed at 11 (raidbuffed 2.8 swing timer) seconds and since it is about %227 as good as SoR when fully stacked it should mean that the break even point is pretty much right where SoV fully stacks up. Now we do lose a bit from a smaller JoV in that time, but that is accounted for by the slightly better than double return on SoV. I expect until we get that 1500 damage dot at 12 seconds from SoV though we aren't actually breaking even.

Given this, it is safe to say that SoV is useful on an awful lot of Ulduar still. It is junk on Freya lashers, but better on trio, conservator and p2 sections. We will still need to swap to SoR for p1, p2 Yogg, but in those situations reducing our damage intake a little is also of value so it probably isn't a huge deal.

I played around with my sheet a little and with 5/5 SotP I show the following dps values with my gearset:

SoR with 5/5 SotP: 5466
SoB: 5957
SoV in 3.2 with 5/5 SotP: 6637

All gear and buffs selections are identical. Over the first 12 seconds of the fight I would guesstimate SoV to be operating at 5500 dps or so averaged out. Given these numbers, we are probably going to do the same damage in 3.2 as currently once we have been hitting the target for 19 seconds or so. After that we just sail away to a 700 dps buff. On Thorim this will easily amount to a 10% overall dps increase on the boss, and likely a 10% loss on the adds with SoR.

So with the current implementation we can basically be confident that if we have to target swap every 30 seconds we will be getting a noticeable dps buff. Our trash damage is going down, but we are losing our self damage, so in the end I think blizzard probably accomplished what they set out to do. Our burst is worse, our sustained is up a lot, and reasonable target switches like 30 seconds are completely manageable. This is going to force more micromanagement of our mana and GCDs, but a little more interactivity in our combat is something a lot of people have been calling for anyway.

I can confirm it too, my SoV dmg ranged from 183 to 1564 on the IF boss puppet, for my non-crit-hits. It also showed up in the combatlog.
SoV still procs off Judgement by the way. As many already pointed out, I think we can assume it works as intended.

JoV in itself is independant of weapon damage, it scales only with AP, or am I mistaken?

How much value is attributed to weapon speed and dps, given that SoV also procs off JoV, and SoV scales per definition off weapon dmg? (SoV turned out approximatively 24% total dmg on said boss puppet).

I can also confirm that SoV now procs partial seal damage, depending on the number of stacks. However, due to Berserk procs, it's hard to figure out the percentage, but it should be roughly 20% of the final seal damage per stack.

On a different note, because I was lucky to find someone to test the Dininity - JoL matter:

I can now confirm that Divinity does increase the heal of JoL for all raid members. Proof:

JoL + Divinity

As you can see, my Judgement heals the other Paladin for 479 which is:

21774*(JoL*Divinity)*Divinity(Received Healing)= 21774*(0.02*1.05)*1.05=480
Without the increased Healing on JoL, he would only receive 457 HP per proc.

Also confirmed. Blood Corruption still only applied by white attacks, but all specials (Judgement, Crusader Strike and Divine Storm) now proc Seal of Vengeance based on the amount of stacks that are up on the target but again only the targets with our DoT. The partial SoV procs can still crit however. You can easily test this by placing the DoT and Judging from ranged or using Divine Storm while auto-attack is not active.

I was trying to see how much per stack, but I had to log over to the Live servers for raid. I expect Exemplar or Redcape to have numbers for us soon.

Well, unbuffed in my PTR gear, SoC was overtaking SoR and my PTR gear was pretty bad. Given that raid buffs will affect SoC damage better than SoR damage the gap widens. SoR can be brought up to about the same level as SoC if you use a glyph slot (which means you sacrifice judgement damage).

I don't consider 5-10 DPS a noticable difference. Especially when you have to consider things like the loss of a glyph slot to make it even into that 5-10 DPS difference.

On my brief PTR excursion this evening:

Damage 1786-2122
Speed 3.22
Power 3978
Spell Power: 1193

SoV procs at 5 stack: 730-790 + DoT
SoR procs: Exactly 712
SoC procs: 723-841

Now consider you'll get 10% more from glyphing SoR, however, you get Crit% more from the fact that SoC crits. I just don't see how the numbers add up, all I see is people say things like

Which from everything I can see, is not true.

Using unarmed so, +-1 damage range I got the following damage numbers from the seal at each stack level:
1: 44 - 6.66%
2: 89 - 13.5%
3: 132 - 20%
4: 177 - 26.8%
5: 220 - 33%

From that I'd assume it's just straight: 6.66%, 13.33%, 20%, 26.66%, 33%

Could you tell if each stack was affected by Seal of the Pure or if that only affected the final 5 stack?

All stacks were affected equally.

If Blizz has quietly implemented a gradually stacking system, allowing for an actual ramp up of seal damage rather than the "rocket liftoff" scenario we have been expecting, then that pretty much ends the discussion of seal swapping. My napkin math says that SoV will now match SoR/C after (very roughly) 3 auto-attacks, which is ~6 seconds of ramp-up time, or half as long as it was before. Sure, you could start a fight with SoR and then swap, but the lost time will kill any advantage.

Wow, this makes me really happy. I really hope its intended.

You would still have to apply the dot-stacks, so SoR without fast-targetswapping makes no sense.

While I agree completely with your point about us having no "option" to the ramp-up, removing seals from the GCD would be a mistake.
If seals were removed from the GCD it would be most definately a DPS increase to do some form of seal-twisting, where you stack vengeance to five, then swap to say righteousness, swapping back to vengeance each time you need to refresh the dot stack, and swapping to whatever has the biggest judgement damage right before each judgement.

While on the one hand that would be a lot more skill-based than currently, we'd effectively be carrying out two different rotations at once, the damage rotation and the seal rotation. I think thats a little bit much to ask.
