While HP tends to be king, the vast avoidance improvement for a somewhat small decrease in health (from an already more than adequate level) is totally worth moving to the second set.

However, the first set may feel much nicer for easy content. Not only is 138 block value worth probably 150-180 threat per shield slam, but against a weak mobs its also great mitigation.

Against 1k hits, not using shield block, 25% block makes an extra 138 block value similar to 3.5% dodge. Against a mob that hits for 2k, its still 1.75%. The great part about the block mitigation instead of dodge mitigation is that it also still rewards you with some rage.
