This is the 969 rotation. Its based off the normal global cooldown of 1.5 seconds. The 969 rotation gives maximum threat because it provides an efficient framework for you to use an ablility every cooldown. One entire sequence is ideally 16.5 seconds.
example like this:
Judge-->HoTR-->HS-->ShoR-->Consec-->HoTR-->HS-->ShoR-->Judge-->HoTR-->Consec-->ShoR
After the last ShoR (which is at the 16.5 second mark) you Judge and the rotation is started again.
Also make note that ShoR and HoTR are interchangeable. It really depends on gear and playstyle. I use HoTR as my lead 6 second ability right now. But, with the Libram of Obstruction you should use ShoR immediately after Judging as the 5 sec. shield block value boost will increase the damage done.
The same can be said for Holy Shield and Judgement. I prefer to get my Judgement up as soon as possible. On hard hitting mobs you may want the immediate mitigation from HS. Its really up to you.
The trick is learning when and how to rotate your 9 sec abilities because only one is an actual 9 second ability(judgment) and that's only if you drop one point into improved Judgments. Once you have the basic rotation down you can throw a new ability like exorcism to replace one of the judgments, but exorcism can only be used once a rotation b/c of its 15 second cooldown and should be placed accordingly.
Hope this helps. Good luck
