Prot Warrior - Shield Block not working

It seems that starting March 3rd my shield block is not working properly. While out of combat the button is greyed out. When I charge into a mob or mobs it will stay greyed out for a few seconds, sometimes up to 5 seconds then it activates and lets me use it. The problem is I can’t even activate it before going in but was able to do this before the 3rd. I also can’t even whirlwind while out of combat as it is doing the same thing as shield block.

I have no idea what happened, I didn’t make any changed to my bars except I swapped my fishing ability with charge while fishing and swapped it back later. Shield block and whirlwind currently set to keybinds Shift+3 and Shift+4 respectively. Also not using 3rd party addons for layout, I’ve been using Blizzard default UI. Tried removing the abilities and adding them back but no change. Not sure what else I can try here… was enjoying tanking dungeons but this significantly changes that since shield block should be working before going into combat.

Tech is player discussion on latency and crashes.

Class specific questions can be asked in their own subform Classes > Warrior

You can edit the post to move it there. You might want to include which character it is, reviewing the armory might given an idea why.

I was really tired when I wrote this, please disregard. I seemed to forget to read the tooltip properly, i didn’t have rage for shield block. It’s working fine, sorry.
