For Bone Shield, you say you don't plan on being under attack, but that's just not realistic. You may not have aggro, but almost every fight in Naxx has some damage spread out, and it will make you last longer. Sapphiron, Kel'Thuzad, Faerlina, Maexxna, Anub'rekhan... pretty much everyone except Patchwerk you will get hit.
I'm not saying it makes BS the best glyph to have, but it's certainly not bad. You will get hit a lot by aoe's.
Glyph of Scourge Strike isn't pointless at all, it just goes against having Desecration. If you like the Glyph of SS, I wouldn't bother with having Desecration at all (or at least not 5/5 in it).
Glyph of PS, yeah... get it with Desecration, or get Glyph of SS without it, they kinda go together.
I think Glyph of IT on an unholy build lost some of its usefulness once HoW started giving RP.
I still use Desecration as a crutch, so I lean towards PS + Desecration, but could totally see SS + no desecration (get unholy aura for raid DPS)

Plague Strick glyph is just about completely useless. Plague strike already hit's for a ridiculously low amount of damage that glyphing it isn't worth it.
If you're choosing between PS and Bone Shield, definitely go with Bone Shield.
I'd probably pick up Blood Strike glyph though. With desecration, you're providing a snare. Blood Strike will be used twice in your rotation I believe.
Disclaimer: The following is slightly off topic, and if you're dead set on using Desecration, ignore it.
That said, Glyphing for SS and SS spamming instead of refreshing your diseases every other rotation provides much more DPS than desecration. A large number of fights, require you to move around quite a bit, making desecration somewhat useless.
The reason that PS glyph can be discussed is that it's a measurable DPS increase. If you're not using Glyph of SS, you have a PS on every other rotation, so you'll increase its damage (even though not too high) by 20%.
Glyph of BS is essentially saving 1 Unholy rune each X amount of time (depending on fight), so not so easy to measure... half a SS? Missing a PS? I can't say.
The reason I'm not a fan of the SS glyph is that after your first IT + PS, you're only getting 2 SS before they wear off. It makes you have to watch the debuffs on the target so you know if you have to redo IT + PS. I have a lot of things to watch in some fights (like spacing on Kel'Thuzad) and I personally prefer to stay with a set rotation rather than "if it procs, then I 'll just keep SS SS SS, but if it doesn't, I have to switch up to IT PS SS. I think it invites a loss of DPS to people who tend to look at other things (I tend to look at my runes a lot because I need to keep track of when Bloods are Deaths).

However, I can see the conern on bone armor. Less time of mitigation means less survivability, and using a rune can fix that, but as a dps will I really take so much damage that I have to have that mitigation?
It's less about mitigation and more about the fact that while bone armor is on, you do 2% more damage.

Scourge Strike in my opinion, would be your best bet.
You'll just have to pay attention before you start every rotation.
