If that's the case, there's absolutely no explication of the "shield block first" philosophy in that section of the wiki article, and since the remainder of that section of the wiki is highly detailed in regard to application of tactics, I can only presume they weren't taking shield block into consideration.
In fact, later in that section of the article, the writer does go into a discussion of shield bash as a hate generator.
Shield block + revenge is, in fact, an awesome combo, although I would generally prefer to still use sunder first because I can apply it instantaneously rather than waiting to get hit (which, if other people are being monkeys, may never even happen -- you've seen me go ballistic because people have pulled aggro before I even had a chance to start locking down the mob, after all).

yeah I meant shield block + revenge. And if the wiki wasn't using that then yep they are monkeys becuase that is the only way you can control it. I too also prefer to use sunder first for the exact same reasons. You need early burst hate too. :)
So yeah bunch o semantics. :)
