Shield Block is also effective health, although only versus blockable melee attacks. EH is defined as anything that's not RNG-based, and a 100% block chance absolutely qualifies.

The damage will recalculate every time it's applied or refreshed. It's not worth resetting your swing timer.

If he's using the set he has equipped on his armory, the paladin tank is actually quite a bit over the block cap (~105% CTC, depending on which food buff he's using).
