-*Shield block is a staple ability of [[tank]]ing [[Warrior]]s, and is used by Warrior tanks to become crush-immune.  If a Warrior's combined [[block]], [[parry]], and [[dodge]] chances are equal to or more than 102.4% (for [[boss]] [[mob]]s), incoming attacks will have no chance to be a [[crushing blow]].  (Note that this ability will not affect the critical chance of attacks made on a tank.  See [[Attack Table]] for more information on how WoW's combat system works.)
-*Shield Block can be used to activate the [[Revenge]] ability. Because of the high block rate granted by this ability, you can generally count on being able to dodge, block or parry the next non-magical attack made on you, and thus be able to use Revenge immediately after the next attack you take.
-*Shield Block, like [[Heroic Strike]] and [[Spell Reflection]], does not activate the [[global cooldown]]. As such, you can use it to burn extra [[rage]] without interrupting your use of [[Sunder Armor]]/[[Devastate]] or [[Shield Slam]].
-*If you are not specializing in tanking or are concerned with dealing damage (e.g., solo [[grind]]ing), the Shield Block will not often be useful. In these situations the rage spent on the ability can often be better spent on other abilities and your talent points better spent on other talents; however, well-geared Protection-specced Warriors will still often use Shield Block when soloing [[elite creature]]s.
