I use Power Word: Shield in exactly two solo situations: when I'm running away and am low on health, and when I've overpulled or accidentally body-pulled and need to situate myself.

Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, Mike is right; it's more efficient to toss Renew on myself and negate the damage that way. (In fact, I resist using Power Word: Shield /because/ it prevents hit-based spell delays; to be most efficient with cooldowns, my optimal spell rotation actually relies on being delayed a little while casting Smite, so that Mind Blast can finish cooling down.)

Then again, I'm specced Holy/Disc, with 5 points in Spirit Tap so that I have very little downtime between fights; on the other hand, I didn't use PW:S when I was Shadow, either.
