Well, maybe I was a bit too harsh, but considering what Druids and Pallys have (yeah, I know, the grass on the other side...):
Ironbark: flat -20% for 12s.
Hand of Sacrifice: -30% for up to 12s, at least the Pally's Hp (~400k)
I find both a lot better.
LC's absorb negates one hit. That is something, but it won't help you for the next few hits the tank takes.
If the HoT buff would be seperated from the shield we would have an increased healing we could rely on, but the way it is now, that part of the CD is almost useless. And the shield itself might take the edge of for a GCD or two but won't help you afterwards.
