I'm thinking about running four or five pieces of block value gear/defense gear in addition to healing gear. My spellpower will be weaker but I'll still be getting spellpower from the strength on those pieces. The benefits of doing this are:

- rezes from ardent defender
- much more survivability when using holy shield. when a rogue is on you itll pretty much mean death with the lower hit points. youll need to tank him with holy shield and just having 2 or 3 defense pieces doubles your block value.
- shield of righteousness will hit much harder.
