just dinged 18 DK last night, and I have pretty much always used a shield. I normally like to keep two weapons handy - a good one handed so I can tank a little better, and a good two handed weapon that I sometimes use solo, as well as in group when I'm not the main tank.

Also, when I get low on HP, and the healer is a second or so behind, or lags, I can hit the shield spell that'll block all incoming attacks.......I even use this spell when I'm backup tank cause I can rescue, and keep blocking to not take damage till the main gets aggro back.

Might be nice to just setup a macro for this as well. When you come up to the 4dots and such, flip in your shield in to take some hits, and for 3dots and below, just use the two handed to kill quickly.

damn I ramble sometimes........sorry
