Don't worry have a homebrew.
It is very unlikely that a temperature change from 80-72 would shock the yeast. People like to ferment at lower temperatures because it produces less byproducts that add off flavors to beer. Additionally, 6 hours for the temperature change is definitely not a quick temperature change in the time scale of yeast.
Agreed only a ...

Unlike the sediment you're used to, that is disturbed when you tip the bottle, this just sat there.

WY1028 behaves fairly normally, in my experience. It doesn't flocculate readily, meaning that you beer will take a long time to clear unless you add finings or filter. I've never had a problem with long lag time or poor attenuation.
A smack-pack that's reluctant to puff-up, in my experience, means an old or otherwise low-viability yeast colony. You're ...
