I had the opposite reaction, to be honest. My AST is 68 at the moment, and from the moment I got noct at 50, I loved it. But tanks didn't seem to care for it, because they always clicked off my shield. But, as it turns out, high level DRKs (I haven't leveled mine that far so I don't know when) can pop their own shield that will give them mana. I don't know if other tanks think it's the res from diurnal's hot, which can send a lot of enmity your way, but especially if I'm in a 50-60 dungeon with an under-geared tank, I like shields. It gives me a moment to heal a DPS or draw a card before popping another heal on the tank.
