Well I'll echo what others are saying, job well done.
I know exactly where you are coming from with the shield spec pally, although I found some pretty innovative ways to take people on with Lruthlor. Wrath was never my first impulse for the single reason I hated the wrathSpammer label and it actually paid off tactic wise. Although like most Shieldies I had a problem sealing the kills at times.
Didn't get to interact with you too often as Choranek beside the "MindYourFeets!" warnings when I had briars set, or the occassional running into each other at the Palace whether retrieving or attacking. You were respected by people Chor respected, that was fine by him and enough to earn his respect (that and not attack his friends and being considerate around his forests).

Anyhoo good luck with your next Fortie, I'm sure Shok will be happy to have you back
