SoC vs SoR question

Hey all, 24 HC pally and I’m wondering when/if ever to use SoR anymore. I’m using Taskmaster Axe from Deadmines (42-64 damage, 2.7 speed, 19.6 DPS) and everything I read says I should be using SoR since the weapon speed is so fast. However my (albeit limited) testing shows SoC outperforming it even with this speed. Here’s my numbers:

SoR grants an additional 15 damage per melee attack, and at a speed of 2.7 I attack a total of 22.2 times per minute for a total of 333.33 extra damage added from SoR.

SoC, from what I read online/limited testing, has a PPM of 7 and was doing roughly 75 damage when it did proc, for a total of 525 extra damage from SoC.

Am I mathing wrong or do I just never use SoR, regardless of weapon speed?

SoR has netted me about 2 more DPS and I’m 27 with the same axe.

SoC outperforms only if I auto-judge-SoR for the quicker auto but it’s about a 1 DPS increase average and my judge is losing 1-3 seconds of refresh rate if I’m in a crowded area.

Rank 3 SoR scales better than rank 4 for autos but judges for less damage and I use SoC-SoR for longer fights as it eventually scales better.

Your average mobs? Switch it up to keep it spicy.

it doesnt matter while leveling. i do soc since the crits are more fun. and soc judgements deal extra dmg to stunned targets. sor is mainly for tanking.

SoC replaces SoR, just take SoR off your toolbar.

Seal Twisting allows you to use both.
