Its pretty annoying that one uses Sheltron, and the next 10 seconds worth of autoattacks get all parried, so no Shield Swipe proc :/

Also, would be cool to have a "Parry Stance" in which neither GCDs nor Auto-Attacks or moving at all can go, but naturally reduces incoming damage, stackable with other DEF cooldowns and the more Parry you have, the longer it can last on, and endure.
PLD can Block without Sheltron already. It's about 6% or 9% stronger than parry if I'm not mistaken. It just depends on what kind of shield the PLD has that judges how often they block attacks. Depending on the strength of the shield the block rate is less.
I think the Shield types are:

Buckler - High Block Rate / Low Block Strength
Kite Shield - Medium Block Rate / Medium Block Strength
Tower Shield - Low Block Rate / High Block Strength
