Blocks cannot be crushing blows.  This is why a high block value and Improved Shield Block are so valuable.

If I'm reading this line of thought correctly, this means then that every tank out there should be shooting for as high a block as possible along with as high a defense as possible to stop crushing blows from occuring from bosses (since trash usually don't do enough in a crushing blow for end game raids). This then means that 2% shield block enchant is much better than +7 Stamina enchant because that 2% gives you a better chance of turning a crushing blow into a normal hit (be it crit or standard hit) which is a lot more survivable.
