Do you have melee in your group? Is it just one mob that does it and there's a longer cd inbetween before it does it again?
If there's a lot of AoE happening then I don't see how stunning one of them is going to do much if anything, it's better to just kill them asap.
If it's one of those in the last packs in Holminster Switch tho then it's whatever.
I've done all the new dungeons from both pld and sam pov, can't say where as a melee dps I'd actually like the tank to stun monsters instead of dpsing. Most of the time you can run around the monsters and continue aoeing without getting hit by any orange aoe, and if you do you can just pop Bloodbath and heal yourself to full in like two/three gcds, or second wind if you really need it.

Not sure why Shield Bash is still in the game, it's pretty useless now considering Low Blow is a 5s stun and is ogcd. Melees also have Leg Sweep if they really need to interrupt a trash mob, and it's yet another ogcd stun, so even in the unlikely case that you'd need 3 interrupts, the tank can use interject and low blow, while a melee dps can use leg sweep, and since everything is ogcd you can keep your aoe rotation going and kill the mobs fast.

Honestly I'd rather you be casting clemency than wasting a gcd on shield bash, it's that bad.
