A case could be made for shield ac when tanking an absolute ass beater of a mob I suppose but if the difference is using vs not using a shield is making that big a difference in survivability you could also make the case that having someone else tank it altogether is preferable. Statistically you should be taking about 50% less riposte damage with a hander.
Holding aggro with a 2 hander is gonna be easier. More white damage threat at baseline by a long shot and fewer missed melee rounds as it’s easier to mix spell casts in with slower swing rate.
I haven’t used a shield on my paladin since I got Natures Defender. Definitely wouldn’t consider it now with Greatspear of Dawn. Then again I don’t have a sweet ass NToV 1hander with raid shield to match tempting me. I could very well feel different if I had such a combo.

I would like to ask, then:
I have a Jeldorin and an Iceflame on my paladin. Is Iceflame worth using over Jeldorin in any situation at the moment?
