How will the new build 3.1 affect rotation? Should I re-Glyph to be more effective with new spells and changes?
No changes that affect the rotation yet, apart from ensuring that Divine Plea is up at all times.
How about working in Exorcism? Now that it is viable against all mobs, and can be glyphed for a 2 sec interrupt, should we look at seeing how swapping every other Judgement with an Exorcism works?

Glyph of Exorcism has been changed on the PTR. It no longer interrupts, and tankadins don't have the room for that glyph anyway.
Given that Judgement activates Libram of Obstruction, I'm not inclined to drop that from my rotation for Exorcism. You'd lose as much from the unboosted ShoR as you would gain from the Exorcism.
Working it in, as is already mentioned in the rotation guide, will certainly be viable on single targets. I'd personally drop HotR or Consecration to fit it in under those circumstances, as those become significantly less valuable outside of multi-mob situations.
In a multi-mob pull, I'd save it for picking up adds just in case Avenger's Shield was on CD.

One important thing is the timing of judgements and Shield of the righteous. I've still got the Libram that increases block value for 4 secs after you judge so my rotation is a more:
Avenger's shield to pull
Holy Shield
Judgement
consecrate
shield of the righteous
hammer of the righteous
Holy Shield
Judgement, etc, etc
and I've found that this really maximise threat generation as my ShotR now crits for around 8-9k in raids with base hit of just over 4k

No. It isn't really important at all.
LoObstruction has a five second proc. If you are following the 969 rotation, you will
always
use ShoR within five seconds of a Judgement.
Your rotation cannot generate maximum threat as your cooldowns are crashing into each other very quickly.
0.0 Holy Shield
1.5 Judgement
3.0 Consecration
4.5 ShoR
6.0 HotR
7.5 ... Nothing is off cd yet
8.0 Holy Shield
9.5 ... Nothing is off cd yet
10.5 ... Judgement? ShoR?... Judgement
12.0 ... ShoR? Consecration? ... ShoR
13.5 ... Consecration? HotR?
15 seconds into the fight and you've already spent nearly 1/3rd of it waiting for something to do. That's not even close to maximizing your threat.

lol How is that "important" ? Is it more important to see big numbers pop up for you at the expense of actual DPS/TPS?
You didn't find it "maximise" your TPS because it didn't.

Still don't understand why to use 969?
read this maintankadin article
Then also read the matlab analysis from
maintankadin.failsafedesign.com
After the crazy math is done.. the highest TPS 969 rotation available with 100% uptime of Holy Shield is...
DPS TPS HS Up% Rotation
2822 7109 100 ShoR > Cons > HotR > JoV > HS
If you are losing mana to fast.....
How to not go OOM: 102.
link
• Put up Sanctuary instead of Kings.
• Use less CC.
• Pull more.
• Divine Plea. Use it.
• Modulate your TPS. (Skip Consecrate)
If Divine Plea + BoSanc + 1/2 Spiritual Attunement aren't returning enough mana, you're not tanking enough. Start tanking more mobs, and thus taking more damage & avoiding more attacks.
What can you cast for half a mana bar?
• Avenger's Shield.
• One Consecrate.
If SA is still not procing enough, try changing from avoidance trinkets to stam trinkets.
