Stay in shield oath for trash pulling and pull more, that way you could speed up the process instead of going for 1 -2 groups of mobs go for 2-3. Being in shield oath you generate enough enmity by just using aoe's, circle of scorn and total eclipse.
That way you could just focus on using your def cooldowns and AOE damaging spells, i guarantee you, you will be doing more DPS than trying to keep enmity in sword oath by using flash, combo and etc and dungeon will go a lot faster if you pull more.

Btw
take a few minutes and watch this

This. The benefit you gain from Sword Oath is pretty insignificant for trash pulls. In fact, outside of hard content, Sword Oath isn't that useful at all. Tanks tanking in their DPS stance is only really beneficial for content with DPS checks.
