What's REALLY the deal with Seal of Command?

[Yogdhir]

I've read the threads containing confirmed bug reports for Seal of Command which makes it seem like the spell doesn't get to live up to its full potential for ret specs with vengeance. Apparently damage shields also gimp SoC's damage.

Then, I read other posts where people suggest abusing the state of the mechanic, as if it actually gets higher dps than it should somehow. How is this the case, and does it make up for the above bugs?

Wow. Thank you for providing no new information.

I said in OP that I had already read that post. I am asking how despite these bugs, Seal of Command is somehow abusable as some posts from around March suggest. Reading further, it seems it was/is doing more damage than it was supposed to. Was this due to doing more than 70% weapon damage, or was it related to Judgement of Crusader? Has it been corrected since then?

There are a lot of conflicting posts, which makes it difficult to determine whether SoC is worth putting points into.

my point was you need to relate it back to thread you read the info from, not create a entire new post that has the same discussion.
instead of being hostile and negative, please understand the post i made was referring you back to that post, not telling you to give up.
once again, the best thing to actually test the post and report you on finding on the bug tracker to see what has been updated/fixed.
