0.7 Shield Slam -- How it Scales
Shield Slam provides the largest scaling available to the Protection Warrior. It is affected by all increases in damage, including One-Handed Specialization, Enrage, Deathwish, and Impale.

The basic equation is:
(BD * (SBV *1.3)) * 1.1

Where BD is Base Damage and SBV is Shield Block Value.
1.3 Represents Shield Mastery 30% Damage Increase
1.1 Represents One-Handed Specialization 10% Damage Increase


The following represents math to maximize Shield Slam damage to it's potential with talents:

(BD * (SBV * 1.3)) * 1.1 * 1.2 * 1.25 * 2 = Enrage/Deathwish Critical Strike Value
(BD * (SBV *1.3)) * 1.1 * 2.2 = Impale Critical Strike Value
(BD * (SBV *1.3)) * 1.1 * 2 = Normal Critical Strike

1.2 Represents Deathwish 20% Damage Increase
1.25 Represents Enrage 25% Damage Increase
2 Represents Normal Critical Strike Multiplier
2.2 Represents Critical Strike Multiplier modified by Impale

For example, an average Rank 6 Shield Slam will deal 430 Base Damage. Let's assume 750 Shield Block Value. With enrage, this would look something like:
(430 + (750 * 1.3) * 1.1 * 1.2 * 1.25 * 2
(430 + 975) * 1.1 * 1.2 * 1.25 * 2

1405 * 1.1 * 1.2 * 1.25 * 2 = 4636 Shield Slam Crit (Enrage/Deathwish)
1405 * 1.1 * 2.2 = 3400 Shield Slam Crit (Impale)
1405 * 1.1 * 2 = 3091 Normal Shield Slam Crit
