I've never seen people so emotionally upset over a video game in my life.
Also shield swipe shouldn't be a dps gain. It isn't intended to be, just because YOU think it should be doesn't mean that's a design flaw. That's arrogant. The intended design is what you have. Pally doesn't need to put out big numbers and it shouldn't. It was never intended to put out large amounts of dps. It's working as intended.
