Also keep in mind that if you are using Seal of Corruption that the higher the stack (max 5) the more dmg your judge will do.

That's unsurprising, considering that both the Mirror of Truth and Needle-Encrusted Scorpion only have a chance to proc off of critical strikes. The Banner of Victory is simply a chance to proc off of attacks, so you get much better up time.
Changing the settings in Rawr so you only have the Retribution Paladin self-buffs (Improved Might, Sanctified Retribution, Swift Retribution, Heart of the Crusader), the target type as Other (for the target dummy), time below 20% as 0%, fight length as 5.0 minutes, assumed latency of 250ms, and the priority you said you were using, I get 4963 DPS for your gear; if you were at 4.5k, you aren't a huge amount off.
Not to say that what you're doing is in any way correct, of course.
ALSO: Ret paladins are extremely dependent on buffs for their dps, being in a 10 or 25 man with full 10/25 man buffs will boost your dps on a 5 min. boss fight considerably.
