I mentioned that at least until I get more Might and stuff, I had 2% block on my shield, and someone brought up that block was bad if you had too much. Thanks for putting that to rest for me. (I'm just 19 block, 11 dodge, 14 parry in tank gear)

I've never believed there was a cap on mitigation but I still generally feel that stam > block chance. Just in case you thought I was coming from a different angle than I was in that discussion. I don't think block is bad, but I just generally don't feel the need to pursue it as in situations where I want to be able to block I have essentially unlimited rage and can spam shield block with pretty much no affect on aggro control or anything else.
Though I suppose I really should sit down and find the break point of damage in, damage blocked and time to live to see where block beats stam for longevity on a melee damage deal boss. It's not a bad thing but to me it's just gravy, nice to have (and the itemization blizzard has means you'll end up with it end game) but given the choice I'll take stam or +def before it.
