DRK only offers a 10% shield (based on the DRKs HP). Thats something like 8% more eHP on a WAR. Not that exciting. Most tanks in a raid scenario will forgo that for more dps (if the shield is really a dps loss as theory crafted).

PLD seems better on paper, but looks to me like overkill. You can do similar stuff with a simple tank swap.

We will need to wait for savage and see how that looks though. I am basing my opinion on old savage content at the moment.
