Are we approaching a Solo Raid WoW Experience?
New heritage armors (Draenei and Troll) are not acceptable
MMO-Champion
It could be fun to try out imo
slow MH, shield with block value, using http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=61411 as an additional attack
Does it increase dmg from AP? or just block value?

Fun? Maybe. If you like small numbers on all your attacks.
Personally, I only throw on a shield if I'm emergency-offtanking, or doing some serious AoE grinding.

Fun? yes. Practical? No.
It would not get you the numbers you need to justify your raid spot.

Well I think there's enough time between the CDs to make a:
/equip <insert shield>
/cast SoR
/equip <Insert 2hander>First Rule of MMO's:
-Those who have accomplished less than you are noobs.
-Those who have accomplished more than you are no-lifers.

Let me say this again.
It is not practical.
That is 3 total global cooldowns lost.
You would have done more damage just staying as is.

too bad that equipping weapons and shields triggers a GCD
