Slam the target with your shield, causing Holy damage equal to 200% of your block value. This spell causes a high amount of threat.
Armor piercing Shield Slam. Prot is gonna have some very sexy single target TPS.

Does shield specialization increase block value or does it work as a damage absorption bonus? The synergy would be really good if the former.

My first spec just playing around was 5/66/0. Is anyone else finding more useful skills in the primary tree, or is it just me?

I tried building a tanking tree, and taking into account the two new high threat moves prot paladins will now have, went for a 0/59/12. I guess as gear improves post 80, points could shift back into prot, but as far as threat goes we no longer have to rely completely on JoR for burst threat. Hurrah!
