svirve, you wouldn't get faster wings with armor penetration instead of increased judgement crit chance?
It's a healing build not a DPS build. The reason to pick up fanaticism is to compensate the loss of IoL with art of war. 50% crit chance on judgements is better than 30% crit chance on HS.
In the way of hybrid builds, has anyone considered the unkillable build in a 34/37/0 format?
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#sxhbxhrRVzhZVGzArdMhsMImp. Righteous Fury and BoS reduce damage by 9%, Glyph of Divine Plea reduces damage by another 3%, Glyph of Salvation will reduce damage by a further 20% when it's active. Ardent Defender reduces damage by 30% on low health, Blessed Life reduces damage by half 10% of the time (being an equivalent 5% mitigation).
2 minute cooldowns on Hand of Protection, as well as Divine Sacrifice and improved Sacred Shield to mitigate your partner's damage. One Handed Specialisation boosts damage of all abilities, not just attacks, making up for dps (if not burst). Gear would be high int, high crit, high resilience - general holy pvp gear, basically.
The drawback being, of course, that you're highly unlikely to kill anyone in the process. Otherwise, you could drop a few points into Reckoning instead of Holy Shield/BoS, and keep SoB/SoM up for some (limited) burst.
Considered, tried and failed.
The build is a 1v1 build. As soon as you get a 2nd player you need to heal it'll fail.
DP 50% reduced healing. Nothing to speed up your healing or to increase it (other than divinity).
The only way it will work is if the other team is so stupid to only focus on you. Rather than CC you and kill your partner.

The reason to pick up fanaticism is because it's now impossible to get both Infusion of Light and Repentenance. Which was what was good with the former holy/ret hybrid (pre3.1). So instead of IoL procs you use art of war procs and fanaticism to increase the chance of judges critting :)
The first of the builds you suggested would be the most "shockadiny". I'd still pick up SoComm though.
I honestly dont know how to spend the points since the thing is blizzard made it impossible to get a good shockadin.
You have to sacrifice something.
This is what i would use for pure PvE dps as a shockadin.
Though i cant promise you it's the best or the most dps.
Itemize for spell hit > SP > crit.
