Notice how you lose very little down time in the GCD between Sword Oath and your next GCD ability, making it better than what you are making it out to be.
I don't remember the exact maths, but at least last patch i read on here that in order to justify the loss of the gcds for the swap you would need to stay in sword for at least a few combos. swapping for one dot, even boosted is not going to make up the difference of losing 2 gcds. if you are swapping that fast, it would probably be more beneficial to simply drop shield and put it back up only incurring one gcd cost. Still doubt the math would make it worth it for such a short period
