I can't really defend Awareness....I guess if you want to avoid a Death Sentence crit? If they extended the duration to 30secs that would honestly be enough for me. Is that OP? Nah.
Awareness is pretty important in 2.2 and it can be cross classed. Shield Swipe is incredibly powerful. Although its "old content" a paladin can interrupt all of Ifrit HM's eruptions and the "stack" plumes while tanking using a well timed shield block. What would make shield swipe more important is if it was usable on more enemies, such as interrupting ADS high voltage.
