Only ToB could be considered to be a bit stronger as the other fluff cds, but having the best personal cd kit is the advantage that a warrior brings over the other tanks.

Block being capped at 20% brings it in line with the other short cds and if block hadn't scaled before, peoble wouldn't bat an eye at it capping at 20%, because at 20% it's in line with the other short mitigation cds. Can't really have the cd kit of one class get stronger over teh course of an expansion while the others don't.
Also, you need to realize, the CAP for block is 20%. Most PLDs will most likely be blocking for a lower % most of the time since not everybody will be geared to the teeth. Also, there's level sync which hurts it too. I just did Susano and my block was at 15% due to level sync...that's just insulting.
Now, if Block started at 20% and went back to 30%. That'd be fine.

Also, it bothers me how the devs nerfed block and parry like they were one in the same. One is just some extra mitigation that you're never really expecting; you can just see it as the occasional treat. Whereas the other is literally the main source of the class's mitigation, it's essential to how the class stays alive and prevents damage.. And to make it worse, SE decided to nerf block MORE than parry. Like, how does that even make sense? It honestly feels like they were just trying to screw PLDs over just for the hell of it (assuming that they're leaving block at 20%).

And wha? You do realize that's always been the case for PLD, right? Overtime, their block strength has always gone up as better shields were brought into the game.
