You make a good point.
But when looking over a few individual parses from higher ranked warriors Nascent Glint and Shake It Off do not account for 50% of their healing.
Even if you remove those (which I agree makes a lot of sense), the build-in healing on a warrior far outperforms paladin's passive blocking (+ gcd healing you always want to avoid).
