Specifically you can use WW to pump your absorb shield and CA (interrupt). Plus it has what is a really good reactive punt.
Build is fine but tactic choices are terrible. Potent and Bolstering are waste of tactic slots.
Discerning Offense is better paired with Raking talons when Sov+2 is not available.
20% more healing, unstoppable juggernaut and reduce enemy chance to crit by 25% all way superior
The tactics are "vanilla" i.e. good enough for most situations. They would even be reasonable if you are still running around solo looking for a group, in a duo-trio (depending on what you got) and in a low/no heal pug WB.

When I do Shieldmaster (which is not a lot these days), I actually have all five of my tactic slots filled out with different combos and I wish had a couple more depending on the situation i.e. am I in a pug 6 man, am I in a solid 2-2-2 6 man, am I in a pug warband, am I in a top-end warband and, of course, who am I guarding?
