What are you doing that you like Sanctification so much? I've never been particularly impressed by it.

I wasn't either initially, but thinking over it more and more, anything that provides immunity in one form or another has to have its uses; thoroughly exploring what those are is difficult since more robust disciplines exist and often in greater abundance given the popularity of other classes. A stance to reduce or negate physical damage and a racial that gives immunity to frontal stun are all better, but spell damage comes in more varieties than physical; having a hard counter SV versus the majority of spells across the resist spectrum seems potentially very useful for long pulls, even with such a short duration / long cooldown. The best, most comprehensive resists available to player characters at the click of a button, better than any combined total of those received from gear, buffs, and songs. At least that's how it reads on all of the sites.
From personal experience, it works well as an extension to Divine Aura when running from trains. Paladin DAs to block physical damage from respawns on the way towards the zoneline, jumps/strafes out of melee range, then pops Sanct after DA fades if casters are aggroed.
For short duration "kill it before it kills you" fights, such as Gorenaire, Sanct means no dragon roar or AE damage. Even if the target doesn't die before Sanct fades, the effect still lessens the demand for heals and guarantees opportunity to get aggro.
If there's nowhere to line of sight a raid target's AE, due to poor positioning/aggro bouncing, the paladin can stay with the main assist for SoulFire clicks until they're back in range of the clerics.
DA to engage/position Trakanon, then click off and spam aggro with Sanct applied to counter AEs. The blind/stun is unresistable apparently, but everything else should be blocked.
Have yet to test Sanct against procs.

But assuming that's been fixed, there are more than a few targets that would be tanked with greater ease as a result.
