I would say Blizzard don't want us to be offensive casters. In recent months they made several decisions in that line. They fixed imp sor, they gave it bigger spell damage %, they introduced spell dmg armor in honor and arena rewards.
And also, if you decide to go in 5-10 men instances and dps, it has more of a melee feel to it, since your cheapest dmg comes from using sor and maybe lvl 1 or 2 consecration. (In a way its almost the same as pally tanking way, only with more spell dmg and less +def:p)
With full plate spell dmg gear, you can tank non heroic 5 men instances more effective then warrior/feral druid/prot pally, since you wont be losing aggro, you can handle non heroic mobs, the nuking of the instance will be faster because of a 4 dps ers in the group, and at the end, you will be so far ahead of dmg meters.... (only thing you need is a good spamming healer)

Since you can produce 4-5k dmg almost instant + the finishing (trinkets/aw - jor/df/hs) followed by consecration and how), this build can be of use in a 2v2 and 3v3 arenas, using fast nuke tactic.
Still it doesn't work 100% of the time, like nothing does. Also, BoK is rather useless in 2v2 and 3v3 because you will be using bof/bos/bop on them, almost from the start and it will remove kings.

5v5 teams with 2 healers - priest/shammy can do well with it, as you can help in both ways.
