Also, maybe it was just you didn't notice but Divine Protection has changed so it's 40% magical damage unmitigated so if you had it glyphed (unlike on live) you'd actually be taking more damage. In all fairness I would have thought it's a healer issue because I think they've got rid of resistances or something on the PTR/Beta? Which means no Resistance Aura for yorsahj meaning that we're on our own. So you're taking more damage anyway, and on live on my 404 paladin, healers seem incapable to keep me alive through 5-6 bolts on LFR because they're terrible. Should be swapping at 4 to be honest.
If you were stacking cooldowns you were probably making your life hard anyway as they're multiplicative rather than additive so chaining them one after the other would have been better as GoaK + Divine Protection one after the other would provide 50% damage and 40% reduction, and that would be enough for 4 void bolts there abouts, especially if you were WoGging. All I'd say is make sure you SHOTR when you can to build up Bastion of Glory stacks for a bigger WoG. Building Holy Power is fast now so if you don't need the healing currently then get a SHOTR out so when you do need that next WoG, it's bigger.
Aggro I can't comment on however.
