IMO, Shield Block could be changed into a 'Conditioned' ability.
It's not CD-limited or rage-limited. Rather, it is offensive action-limited; you can only use it after a few attacks to your target. Afterwards, when it's ready to use, you still can choose not to do it, and wait for the right time. It's somehow similar to the combo-points mechanic, but gives more freedom to the tank: if you don't use it, it doesn't necessarily hurt you because you always have armor/dodge/parry for mitigation.
What's the right time? When your healers are oom/dead/distracted, or simply under-geared/under-skilled.
It would be feeling like a mini-Shield Wall with you in total control.
