Overview
Shield specialization is often outlooked by protection warriors and totally ignored by the rest of the warrior builds, but for a full protection warrior it certainly can have its uses.
Functionality
Shield Specialization increases your chance to block with your shield and generates extra rage when blocks occur.
It is a passive Protection talent, and is always active.
Prequisites: None
| Rank | Effect |
|---|---|
| Rank 1/5 | +1% block, 20% chance to generate 1 rage |
| Rank 2/5 | +2% block, 40% chance to generate 1 rage |
| Rank 3/5 | +3% block, 60% chance to generate 1 rage |
| Rank 4/5 | +4% block, 80% chance to generate 1 rage |
| Rank 5/5 | +5% block, 100% chance to generate 1 rage |
Notes
If you are a protection warrior casually tanking in low/medium/high-level instances, but not a Main Tank or Assistant Main Tank for your guild in Zul'Gurub and higher instances, you'll want to skip this and invest your talents in something else.
However, if you believe you'll find yourself in situation while you tank/offtank some boss or other tough cratures while the rest of the raid is focusing on killing other creatures, you might want to invest on Shield Specialization. The reason is that Improved Shield Block allows for a Shield Block - 
[Revenge] combo, which results in less damage taken for you and efficient aggro holding.
