So as a Paladin, I noticed a few things. Shield Swipe is a horrible aggro tool but it is great to mix in to add additional dps for free. I am constantly watching my threat bars and if I don't do a two RoH combo's at the beginning and sub in shield swipes the dps creeps up really fast. There is a certain point where I become untouchable and can shield swipe all day long but we have to get there first. If he is incorporating this too early then yes he would have issues.
