Did you ignore bulwark on purpose? With a zeta shield the block rate and strength is at 34%, and it goes up to 94% rate with the CD (it is additive). In t13, for flattens, if I do not have sentinel up, rampart and bulwark is up - which is the same as the warriors strongest defensive combo - IB & Vengence. Even in T12, with a tank swap, I use sentinel & rampart together because of why not.

And in T13, Paladins only have to choose where to use sentinel if holmgang is used on the 2nd Ahk Morn. If used on the 3rd, there is no problem.
