"Ok, i'm just kinda thinking out loud here.
TV gives 55%/125%/225% weapon damage when use use it, depending on Holy power.
If you use TV evey 1 HP, then you'll net 55%/3sec WeaponDPS= 18.333% WDPS +seal
If you use TV every 2 HP, you'll end up with 125%/6sec = 20.8%WDPS +seal
If you use TV every 3 HP, you'll end up with 225%/9sec = 25% WDPS +seal
Seals deal Holy damage, and thus will be improved by Mastery and Inquisition. don't forget that also, every damaging seal will gives us 15% weapon damage as holy damage, via Seals of Command (Thus, should be increased by mastery) because of seals. then we'll get seal damage on top of that, be it SoT or SoR. Ignoring mastery, we end up with
1HP: 70%/3sec = 23.3% WDPS +seal
2HP: 140%/6sec = 23.3% WDPS +seal
3HP: 240%/9sec = 26.6% WDPS +seal
Now, given Inquisition and mastery should increase the Seals of Command damage done by 30% and an additional 20% respectively (or more with more mastery rating), that 15% weapon damage becomes (.15 * 1.3 * 1.2) = 23.4% weapon damage, assuming of course that the Holy Damage granted by Inquisition and Mastery are multiplicative. Our new WDPS of TV would then become:
1HP: 78.4%/3sec = 26.13%WDPS +seal
2HP: 148.4%/6sec = 24.73%WDPS +seal
3HP: 248.4%/9sec = 27.6% WDPS +seal
ETA: more tests show:
Now that I've done more research on the matter, I find that with our chosen seal, Seal of Truth, we get even more Weapon damage for seal damage. And luckily, it's easy to predict exactly what that seal damage will be. I'll be conservative and say 37% Weapon Damage per hit. We can basically ignore Censure damage for calculating TV DPS.
Before Inquisition/Mastery:
1HP: (55+15+37)%/3sec = 107%/3sec = 35.6%WDPS
2HP: (125+15+37)%/6sec = 177%/6sec = 29.5%WDPS
3HP: (225+15+37)%/9sec = 277%/9sec = 30.7%WDPS
After Mastery/Inquisition: (15+37)*1.3*1.2 = 52*1.2*1.3 = 81.12
1HP:(55+81.12)%/3sec = 45.37%WDPS
2HP:(125+81.12)%/6sec = 34.35%WDPS
3HP:(225+81.12)%/9sec = 34.01%WDPS
So, right out of the gate, we can see that in order to get the most damage out of Templar's Verdict, it's best to spam it and CS, only pausing to get mana from Judgement, or to refresh Inquisition.
Of course there are other factors to take into consideration, like how much damage our other attacks will do, how much mana we'll have to work with, and so on. Exorcism, Holy Wrath, and Judgement, however, do not proc seals, which look like they will be our primary source of damage."
