Shield Swipe gives you emnity based on the dmg you do (x2 for shield oath) that still does not equal to a single flash (even with the blind resisted since there is no evidence that a resisted blind provides less emnity) and no where even close to Savage Blade or Rage of Halone. The only good thing about shield swipe is that 1.) it doesn't break your combo and 2.) if you haven't used it more then 3 times it can be used as an interrupt (provided that the mob is not immune to the pacification effect).

@Op - keeping hate on multiple mobs basically comes down to learning when and how often to flash as well as learning to switch targets constantly using single target skills on each. Get into the habit of watching the emnity bars on the party screen every time you switch. It will show you were to focus more of your attention. General opening for me pull with shield lob, flash once all mobs are there, fast blade - savage blade - rage of halone on 1st target, flash, fast blade savage blade on 2nd target, rage of halone on 3rd target. After that it's just watching bars and adjusting as needed.
