I have a couple 2h’s and a Sword of the Morning/shield. Generally I’ll use the SotM/shield in a group when the dps loss isn’t noticeable (mostly just for a change of pace). At lvl 50 the stun proc is awesome and easily mitigates more damage than the AC from the shield. That said, I have to cast way more FoL’s when using it (until it procs) than with a quality 2h. More white damage does equate to more aggro and a 16/27 is nothing to write home about.
Frankly though, with a pally or SK the nice thing is being able to make that call yourself since aggro isn’t a problem. Switch whenever you want in a group because it just doesn’t matter as much. With a warrior if you don’t pick the right weapons your dps teammates get pummeled and your chanter/cleric gets murdered.
Up to 49 you only have one stun, at 52 you have three you can cycle if you want. Bash is nice but not to be counted on later on.
