The opportunity cost of shield bash is too darned high

Right, but the combination of you not being equally geared with the fact that you are trying to take on two roles in a single encounter is just going to lead to problems. If you create a scenario that you are basing an argument off of, of course I'm going to consider all variables. If you become over-geared, this problem probably goes away, see what I mean?

RE: Pissing contest - I agree, there is no reason to argue that point further.

I don't know about that. I found using shield bash regularly to be too likely to cause threat problems during the leveling dungeons as well. To the point where I really didn't use it that much and its biggest selling point, the lack of a cooldown, was moot. I was only using it maybe once a pull, giving it an effective cooldown of closer to 90 seconds. I'd rather have the warrior stun, since its only drawback is the cooldown and that would still mean I got more use out of it.
