Now what I would like to see is block rate increase with better shields as this would be more aligned to the improvement the other tanks see with their self heals as damage output goes up with better gear and it wouldn’t mess with Shelltron balance.
Paladin currently has amazing gear scaling. Its mitigation is also scaling better than that of the other tanks save for possibly DRK's use of TBN. PLD's damage output meets and in some cases exceeds that of GNB, and its self-heal is easily stronger than anything the other tanks get with the possible exception of WAR. The job in no way needs a higher block rate.
