His current build is 11/5/45, which I think is my favorite Prot build, although feel free to comment if you think I've misspent a point or two.

What I'm considering is respeccing him to an arms/prot hybrid again. As much as I love shield slam, which is a lot indeed, I wonder if I wouldn't be more useful and versatile with a more rounded spec. Plus, I miss having Mortal Strike around.
This is what I'm thinking for that, with the points in the weapon specialization being flexible to whatever weapon I have.

I could squeeze out an extra 1% damage bonus by ditching last stand, but I find it's such a bargain at 1 point that I might as well keep it. I also prefer shield specialization to toughness, for the crushing blow factor as well as the rage generation.
Whaddaya think?

I can't envision using a shield without Improved Shield Bash. It locks out one school for six seconds, silences all schools for three seconds, and dazes which sets them up for the Heroic Strike combo (my HS rivals my Shield Slam, and I use a 1.60 speed weapon.) I suppose you could skip it if you're purely PvE, but even then the silence is useful for dragging caster mobs a little closer or preventing them from casting some kind of nasty spell (like an AE fear) just before death.
