If pulling as well, a good shield will usually have resists on it and bash can be used for potential interrupt if you see the mob casting a heavy dot/dd...saves the healer some mana for when you're actually tanking.

Warrior kick stuns 55+
All large races can slam
Knight epics allow for bash
Paladins can more reliably interrupt significant casts with a 35 mana stun

But I guess this is relevant for the non ogre/troll sks who don’t have their epic

To be honest the only reasons I can see for knights to use a shield while in combat is if they have a really badass 1hander and have no 2hander in the same league or when turtling down to raid tank an ass beater.

The 2h dmg bonus patch changed everything.
