Shield swipe doesn't reset the FB>SB>RoH combo. Use while soloing , pacification is nice and allows more uptime on hard hitting mobs with 360 AOE ( if they can't cast it you don't have to avoid it.)

And a clarification to above poster: pacification causes the mob to be unable to use weapon skill abilities, for example, physical special attacks cannot be used by a mob under the effect of pacification. It's not just a silence.

Use every time it procs on a boss fight, when 1. You have established threat, 2. RoH isn't next in your skill chain. SS has low TP cost and hits harder than FB and SB and , while we're not a dps class, any extra damage is nice as long as threat doesn't suffer.
