You are pretty much spot on with what the talents you took. Picked up all the core ones. One thing you will hear a lot about is putting 1 put into Imp Judgment (Perhaps 1 less point in Imp HoJ). One of the stickies at the top clarifies why, but it is basically required for the optimal threat rotation during end-game raiding. Yes, it won't seem like you need to use it when you first start. But as the DPS starts pumping up to 4-6k, you may have to follow it so they do not have to hold back. You will hear stuff both ways about SotP, it boils down to what you need or want rather.
That said, as I'm sure you noticed, in 3.1 the tree will be changing. Most notable being BoK being made baseline, and less ranks for Imp HoJ, Ardent Defender, and 1-H Weapon Specialization.

depending on whether or not I can figure out a rotation with 2 seconds less CD on Judgements. Otherwise I will cut one from SotP and put it into Imp Judgements.
Regarding using 8 second judgements to keep up block value, 457.6 after talent bonus.
In terms of mitigation:
Using 96969 rotation: 254 BV upkeep
Using 8 second judgements: 286 BV upkeep
Rotation comparison:0 Seal
1.5 HS
3 AS
4.5 JoL
6 ShoR
7.5 CC
9 HotR
10.5 HS
12.5 JoL Miss 0.5 seconds here
14 ShoR Wasted 1 second there
15.5 CC
17 HotR You can switch the order of HotR to CC, but you lose 2 seconds either way through CD
18.5 HS
20.5 JoL Miss 0.5 seconds here
22 ShoR Wasted 1 second there
23.5 CC
25 HotR You can switch the order of HotR to CC, but you lose 2 seconds either way through CD
0 Seal

12 ShoR Does not receive Bonus damage
13.5 JoL
15 HotR
16.5 CC
18 ShoR
19.5 HS
21 HotR
22.5 JoL
24 ShoR
Case 1: You lose out ~1 HotR every 16.5 seconds, but you do judgements 1 second faster.
Case 2: You lose out on 457.6 extra damage once every 3 ShoR/18 seconds.
I'd say threatwise 96969 rotation is superior, but survival, Judgement is superior.
Both by a tiny margine.
