Q u o t e:
Rage generation while shielded
Our plan is to allow warriors (probably druids too) to generate rage when being hit while protected by an absorption shield AND also while hitting a target with an absorption shield.
We think we can get this in, but I am reluctant to use the word "promise" ever.

So, after the hundreds of player requests on the issue, looks like Blizz are doing the sensible thing.
