Shield Slam is a massive direct damage attack which dispels one magic effect, while also causing a high amount of damage and threat. You generate more threat per point of rage with this ability than with 
[Sunder Armor] or 
[Devastate].
Shield Slam is a Protection specialization ability.
The dispel effect is useful against a large amount of mobs and bosses while also allowing you to take things like 
[Power Word: Shield] or 
[Power Word: Fortitude] off a player, which is also useful in PvP. The ability offers a good solid chunk of (potentially critical) damage, which is independent of equipped weapon stats, and can even be delivered while disarmed, if need be.
For a pure Prot-spec warrior, this is the hardest hitting attack in your arsenal, so use it whenever you can.
