Taking Empowered Seals and staying in Seal of Righteousness is miles ahead in aggro generation, plus it makes reaching the haste softcap (25% before Raid buffs and Empowered Seals) trivial. As for the value of haste, it also means more sacred shields, a substantial defensive benefit, together with many more Shield of the Righteous cast and uptime.
For example, in one fight, I managed (at Kilrogg) effectively 100% uptime of Shield of the Righteousness, meaning constant >40% damage reduce.
