Now if only Blizz would stop wasting so many points on extra block rating and give us more of the good stats.

This post is faded because it has a negative score.

  By using shield block, you can easily have enough block chance to block any attack that is not parried or dodged. I believe the same is true for paladins through redoubt/holy shield.
  
  Block value is a different story..

    pallys are a bit different. Since redoubt is only a 10% chance on procing when being hit, its not nearly reliable enough to count on. I got nearly 85% on my tankadin between dodge/parry/block with holy shield up. It's a nice helm, but I don't think a tankadin will ever be tanking this far into end game to be really honest.

      I wouldn´t be so sure i have seen a paladin tank in mount hyjal, Just that they are better at aoe tanking. For a boss a warrior is the best then a druid.

        You guys are misled. Holy shield can make a tankadin above 102.4% uncrushable with only kara gear or even lower. I don't count on redoubt. Actually paladins only take redoubt talent to get the subsequent shield absorption talent.
        
        Holy shield has 8 charges in 8s instead of warrior shield block 's 2 charges in 5s. My holy shield never is used up. I have wws report to prove I got 0 crushings on Lurker adn Gruul, keeping holy shield up all the time. (My avg hit from Lurker was only 3980. ) Thats avoiding a 9k crushing hit from Lurker. I have seen wws reports whenw warriors tank them and they get crushings on Tidewalker, Lurker, Gruul, 5 crushings every 3 minutes, making their hp go to 5% hp nearly dieing or dieing every time.
        
        Holy shield is op , we dont get burst dmg like warriors!

  once your at that stage of geting this helm you want to drop all your crapy block raitings and go for more dodge/parry... Specialy as pallys since you stock up on block rating to get cheep uncrushable at start of your tanking carrer
  
  Idd prefer 50% miss/dodge/parry and 22% block raiting(+30% holy shiled) as my mitigation stats
  
  Would still keep 50%block(and not any lower) since its nice for threat

The Block Rating helps itemize this for Paladins as well; it also helps as damage mitigation on Illidan if you have a high block value (shear dynamics ---> wowwiki).
