Am I just IPing too much? I know i need to manage my shield block uptime better, just trying to not overcap rage, but maybe I need more revenge to proc more free slams? Idk

I'm looking at your raid performance on April 24th for this.

Talents
Use Armor Specialization over Fight Through the Flames as your default option. Armor gives Strength through Armored to the Teeth.
For ST Sudden Death > Bloodborne.
Drop Massacre and Battle-Scarred Veteran. Pick up Thunderlord and Tough as Nails instead. If you need BSV for a fight drop Deep Wounds to get it.

Rotation
You mentioned it yourself, but your Shield Block uptime needs to improve. Most fights you're ~50-60%, with Vanguard being at 31,7%. I'm not going to sugar coat it, that's not good at all. You want to be at 90% uptime or more. Keep in mind Shield Block is your main form of damage mitigation and also heavily contributes to Shield Slam damage.
Good news is you can fix this. Your haste is slightly low, if you can replace your ring "Bond of Light" with one that is more haste heavy, that is a quick fix to reduce the cooldown on Shield Block recharge, so you have less downtime.

Second issue is related to this, you're using Shield Charge way too little. I only see you using it once per fight, if at all. It is NOT for mobility, it's for damage and survival. Every time you use it you get Shield Block for free, so send it every 45 seconds, only holding if you can syncronize it with Demoralizing Shout / Avatar.

Thirdly - Revenge. Stop using it. If you have any other damage button - Shield Slam, Thunder Blast / Clap, Shield Charge, Execute, use those instead.

For ST here's priority of main abilities, in order:
2nd charge of TB > SS > TB > TC > Revenge. Revenge is filler, use it when there's nothing else. It should under no circumstances be your most used button.
For AoE you want to use TB/TC whenever it's available, that means every other cast with Avatar up.

Lastly I see no lust on Chimaerus whatsoever in that 10 minute fight. There are also other odd uses like lusting 10 seconds into Salhadaar instead of during burn phase or nearly 2 minutes into Vorasius. That's not on you, but your raid team's lust classes need to be more on top of this, it's a damage loss for everyone in your team.

There is more, but I think these are some key issues you should focus on resolving first. If you do, it will significantly impact your survivability and damage.

This is immensely helpful! I wasn't even thinking about the talent change, but makes total sense. Yeah I definitely was finding myself blowing rage on revenge and not having it when I needed to reup on SB. Ill definitely work shield charge in > i had it joint macro'd with charge and intervene, but I can peel it off easy peasy to get into the rotation.
