    Every shield swipe gains you back about 10 tp. You are not--spamming-- shield sword in a raid, it only applies when you are tanking, and it is not a dps gain over RA (but is better than RoH, unless RoH is about to fall off as a debuff).

    Shield Swipe is not a powerful TP recovery mechanic like I think you guys are looking for---it helps when you MT, but a Paladin that is on OT will run out of TP just as fast as you (and honestly, in a raid as an MT they wont be much slower.

    Wow there's complaints on Reprisal?

    You have a CD called Dark Dance that increases your parry rate though.

    I almost have no problems being able to use Reprisal on CD. If it is not up use Dark Dance and proc it.

    Dark knights run out of TP faster as OT due to Blood Sword increasing their attack speed by 10%.

    Shield Swipe "saves" you 20TP, as you get 60TP every 3 seconds. what it does is it lets you weave it in every now and then, allowing you to still do damage although at a lower rate, while "saving" tp. If you run out of TP as a paladin when main tanking you can just weave more shield swipes in and you wont run out of TP anymore, as the choice is either auto attack, flash or shield swipe.
