Not abused it, but if you had battleshout up until you went down to 1500 hp you would get healed to 2800, which was quite useful.

Wouldn't it be quite important when playing vs teams like warrior+nonpaladin healer or holy priest+caster, or do you consider these matchups so much a walkover that you would still win easily?

There aren't many double mage teams running around, and the ones we've faced so far haven't been very good at timing their PoM's etc to be a problem. What causes problems for us are warlock+mage and warlock+shadowpriest. Basically, whenever the paladin tries to heal he will be counterspelled for 10 seconds or possibly spell locked for 8 seconds. Spell reflect haven't been enough to keep me up until he can heal again. And even if he got out of it, they would still have the one they didn't use ready if he tried to heal again.
What we do right now is pretty much shield straight our and spam holy lights. Problem is i seldom manage to get either of them down before divine shield runs out and he yet again gets counterspelled for 10 seconds and stand watch as i die. If you have any tips i would appreciate it. Are you playing defstance+shield all the way through or just switch back and forth?
