Let me try to explain you why, in theory, it is better to use Divine Seal first:
If you use Presence of Mind, you cast 20% faster. This increases healing by a flat 20% and also increases your mana usage by 20%.
If you use Shroud like you mentioned, you burn it away quickly and your aggro at that moment will half, but you are spamming cure 2 with 20% more speed. Its better to use shroud at roughly 70% and once you really built some amount of aggro worth reducing.

Divine Seal on the other hand increases heal for a flat 30%. Without increasing mana cost.
Divined Seal'ed Regen ticks really strong, thats why it pay off casting with DS. Medica II will even more increase the heal over time ticks, so you buy yourself time to either holy spam or regen mana and or use cure instead of cure II.
