Says the guy playing the class with the easiest to maintain AM.
Don't confuse difficulty with tedium and pointless. I'm asking for some choices regarding shield block. That's essentially asking for difficulty.

It's not that I don't want to I just don't have the time to do it. Most weeks I get maybe 4 hours of time to play outside of raiding and it's not always in one sitting so I pretty much just do WQs. I am also woefully behind on AP and AK (27 and 15 repectfully) due to having weeks where I did not log on at all.
I'm sure I sound like the guy most avoid bringing a long... But I watch my logs closely, I would sit myself if my dps were detrimentally low.

Prot Pally active mitigation is off the GCD, making it simple to maintain. Is Prot warr not the same way?

All AMs are off the GCD with the exception of DK. Maybe monk too, but I don't know the class well enough.
The problem is remembering to actually hit it every 7-10s, not I don't have a free GCD in time. Again, I'm more than willing to admit this is just a personal problem and I tunnel vision too easily. I've played prot warrior enough to acclimate to every other part of the class, I just find myself forgetting to hit shield block. Maybe it's not high impact enough, falling victim to the same problem focused rage does.
I think short cooldown abilities should be like frenzied regen where you use them reactively instead of maintain.
Can you actually maintain SoTR? I thought it had a 16s CD.

You can with enough haste almost... Get weak aura's or something that has the game make a sound when your shield block drops. Thats what I do when i tank, different sounds when different things happen as its much easier to respond to an audio queue,

Blizzard are idiots. They just took a hatchet to all the decent legendary items and you can tell they just literally made this shit up last minute because many of the ones they buffed because they were shit they just changed back to the 7.1 stats. So literally their whole plan is retune everything to 3% each and hope the poor casual idiots who get utility ones just don't notice the difference anymore. Golf clap.
There is no leadership over there, Ion Drive was clearly not ready to take the reins as they are start stopping major changes like a fifteen year old learning on a standard transmission. God damn.

Joke's on them, I don't have any legendaries for them to nerf!
Of the ones I do know decently, they do seem quite...muted? I wasn't really looking forward to any on my shaman except for the chain heal, and that one looks ok still. I'm betting upgrading to a 910 might be comparable in power to the actual affix now.
