Bear sorc uses a 6os Phase Blade with 6 sael for 120 IAS.

Forget everything else.

even if the bear made sense somehow (which I doubt considering the -20 fire res on Hand of Justice), I would certainly mess up the weapon switching..

to be honest I find pally underwhelming against heralds - very squishy, dps below Charged Strike/ Fireball+ Hydra/ Strafe

correct me if I 'm wrong but he does 5 hits over 11 frames

sorc would do one over 10 frames. even if 4x stronger, it would be less dps, also taking Conviction into consideration. hydras would add 6-9k dps maybe, also not much

sorc would be ~40 p.p. below pally on all res except for fire.. fire would be somewhat better

Energy Shield would add maybe 1k life in equivalent

so.. not sure I want to spend Lo & Sur to test?
If you melee as sorc, you turn into a bear and hit at 7 frames.

I don't understand what's your issue with turning into a bear. You have more life and attack faster.

Do you understand that you can use Hand of Justice as a bear?

With lvl 14/15 Fana aura (from A1 Faith Merc) breakpoints are 75 (7) and 208 (6) with Phaseblade.

I doubt it's worth to go for 208 IAS so Hand of Justice (33ias) would be better for this build.
