Ashley would have won COR, based on her scores at SA and TEB.

No.
Judges did not hesitate to put Lipni ahead(overall) of Caro who has multiple Worlds medals and great SS.
Wagner is not a Worlds medalist and IMO Wagner is slower than Lipni.

Caro also skated worse than Wagner, who didn't make any mistakes as costly as Caro's at her two events.

After SP scoring at COR(if Wagner had competed here), Wagner's LP performance might have been different from SA & TEB's.

And Wagner's total scores were 193(SA) & 194(TEB). Both somewhat overscored.
These are scores on which judges at COR can make to 190.5 (vs Lipni's 190.8) without difficulty.

Wagner slower than Julia!?! I don't think so.

Wagner was not overscored in those two events. In Skate America many felt she was underscored compared to Mao. Given that she is now doing a triple-triple and only made minor errors her scores should be atleast as high as they were.

I don't think she should skip the GPF, but I don't think she really has much of a chance of medaling in Sochi unless Yu-na, Mao or Julia bomb their programs.

Whether of not the judges will give Lip higher PCS than Ashley is speculation. Whether Ashley's scores this season are highe than Lip's at CoR is fact.

Ashley looks really strong this season! I think Julia can compete with her only if clean. And the PCS cushion will evaporate as soon as she loses her consistency - I think that's what the judges love about her now. Otherwise, I want to have a good competition in the GPF so I wish all the skaters the best in their preparations to it.
