I think I like reload aura better than dog aura, at least when using shotgun.
Extending coherency with the dog is vaguely useful sometimes, and the TDR is obviously useful, but I usually use the dog to snatch faraway enemies (meaning it's outside of coherency) and the coherency regen while solo/clutching is virtually pointless when Forceful already gives so much, never mind all the stuff in the top.
The reload speed almost directly translates to shotgun DPS whenever I need to fire more than 6 shots, such as into monstrosities. Also I was already using Imposing Force + Canine Morale anyway and am not swapping off them, so there's no point tax either way.
