Agreed with Rott. The threat is the reason tanks take shield block value, not the mitigation.

430ish base damage + block rating

600 block rating

~1000 damage per slam. Innate threat of the skill, plus the damage, modified by defense stance and defiance bonus = a crap ton of threat....like 1500 EASY

That extra 400-500 block value can EASILY account for 100 threat per second, and that means 100-130 more dps per dps'er....given 12-15 dps players, that 500 shield block just allowed you to add something like 1500+ more dps to the raid. Which is like 1.5 more decent rogues.
