Those PVP related changes are nerfs. Blessing of Sacrifice with a 1 min CD (and 30 sec duration) means that an Arena team can viably CC the Paladin in the opening moments of the match and force him to use a trinket, or, if the Pally stupidly blows BOS right before engaging, they can wait out the 30 sec timer.
BOF now has a longer CD too, and the duration gains from talents are reduced (used to be 3/6 sec per talent point). Interestingly enough, this "nerf" actually is more of a buff for other classes of the opposing team that have spammable low cost snares, like Hamstring, Curse of Exhaustion, Wingclip, as well as root breaker racials for Gnomes and Dwarves. There will be more manual cleansing, decursing of snares (eg mana) and less kiting after a BOF is used up.
Looks like Pallys lost a bit of PvP utility, but there's a couple of nice mild PvE buffs in there.
Seal of Vengeance is sucky to use with a 2-hander since it often will expire on the mob if you get unlucky and miss once or twice. It might be useful for lvl 70 solo-ing now. I'm all extra-happy the greater blessings are now 30 minutes, the 15 minute versions are a pain to refresh all the time, and it really serves no game purpose.
The PvP changes are all nerfs, make no mistake.
Seal of Vengeance is still inferior to Seal of Righteousness for tanking and solo-ing purposes. The duration increase is nice, sure, but the 'extra holy damage' is a whopping 5. Yep, 5.
"Seal of Vengeance: The damage from this ability will now stack properly when two different characters are applying Seal of Vengeance effects to a target.

Basically, SoV had the flaw of, once there were 5 stacks of the DoT on the target, additional procs beyond the minimum rate to keep refreshing the DoT stack contributed nothing.
This meant that SoV didnt scale with haste rating or Heroism/Bloodlust, double-attacks from Reckonning, or temporary buffs like a spell damage trinket, all of which SoR WOULD.
However, it is the case until this next patch that one paladin can put up a 5-stack of SoV DoTs, and then a second Paladin begin attacking with SoV, refreshing the first Paladin's DoT stack.
The first Paladin would then be able to switch to SoR, while all the threat of the SoV DoT 5-stack, now maintained by the second paladin, still gets attributed to the first.
Effectively, a tanking paladin could get the benefit of running two seals at the same time.
