I've also heard that shield block prevents crushing blows. Not having a warrior tank, I've never been able to test for it.

I've heard the same from my guild's tanks, though I've never followed up on whether they've done tests or not.

In that case, extra block can prevent a lot more in the way of damage spikes than a little bit more stam.
