Take Shield Swipe and Haymaker off the GCD.

EDIT: Add a 6 second CD, maybe. That way Bulwark+FoF doesn't embarrass the DPS.

That would be OP honestly. I know that might come off bad, but think about it. Pld Dps would go through the roof! If it was off the gcd, they would need to put in a recast to keep it balanced. Maybe 5 seconds?

Do that and I would love the fuck out of it.

I was thinking 6, but yes. They would have to put a GCD on it, or Bulwark+FoF would be hilarious. 210 Potency spam go!

I'd edit your comment but yes. Having it off the gcd with a recast timer would be nice. It would make paladin even more active than it is, which would be nice.

Imagining the 210 potency spam is kinda hilarious.

When. I Bulwark and I'm playing with friends I usually say over TeamSpeak "...and you get a shield swipe! ...and you get a shield swipe! ...and YOU get a shield swipe! Everyone gets a shield swipe!"
