Spell Reflection doesn't have much use in raiding, or so I've heard. I've only done a small amount of raiding with my warrior, but I recall spells hitting me just fine even when I was using it.

Sadly this is true. Spellreflect in its current incarnation is barely situational. The change they made in taking it off the GCD is a step in the right direction but right now its a novelty. It will reflect most 5man dungeon caster-spells that are either direct target or a volley-type spell, "true" aoe spells are not affected (obviously).
But for pretty much 99% of spell-damage outside 5mans, be it heroic or normal it may as well never have existed.

Spells punch right through the shield, no effect whatsoever.
I may have been that they felt it was entirely too strong (esp if the reflected spell counts as the warriors own threat, which I don't know if it does) but either way in just about all big situations where spell reflect may have felt like "oh wow now would be a great time to have it" it doesn't work.
And no, reflecting Attumens %miss-curse doesn't count ^^.
