And then SE would give it a long natural cooldown instead like those abilities to compensate - and as you can only use it anyway after blocking an attack with your shield, it would forever be getting wasted simply because the block parameter would be satisfied but the ability itself would still be on cooldown. Really though, I'm happy how it is, and yes, it's very useful when you can use it.
