One thing I am finding interesting is I am failing in finding a lot of theorycrafting around abilities (even from a single boxed perspective).

For example, first tier. It sounds to me like consecrated hammer (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=203785/consecrated-hammer) is a potentially better talent, especially from a boxing perspective. According to icy veins, double dips on the standing in consecration bonuses. If thats true, decent bump to your AOE, defense through SOTR and healing through LOTP.

Everything I can find says take blessed hammer, but I cant find a good comparison. Of course the 15% damage debuff sounds nice, but the hammers fly out pretty wide pretty quick. Whats the dps comparison? Whats the comparison of survability from the improved SOTR / LOTP vs the debuff, etc etc.

Anyways, will try to do some comparisons on my own but doesn't seem like a lot of good explanations out there at the moment.
