My Paladin Is Too Slow, Gets Caught in Red Zones.

When my Paladin is fighting mobs, lets use Yeti's as an example, they spam red zones, and the problem is I need to be close to them to hit them. I am swingin' my mace with at-wills and hitting encounters, and while I m in mid-swing the Yeti drops his red zone on me, so i want to run out immediately, but because I had just clicked attack and am in mid-swing I cannot move. My feet are stuck until the animation of my attack ends. This is causing me to get caught in these red zone attacks. This is the only character I have where this problem has raised it's ugly head.
And this is just fighting vanilla landscape mobs, I shudder to think how I would perform like this in a tough dungeon.
Anyone else getting this?

it seem any tanks who might have hidden penalities that we dont know except devs by wearing plates, might need more dark enchants for movement buffs.
characters in melee template from other games are faster with weapons and "physically trained" with plates, but tanks in NWO are so terrible too slow.

A whole lot of other Obsidian toons as well.

Even on a Devotion spec, Sanctuary gives damage resistance and CC immunity. I probably end up using it more on my DevOP than my husband uses it on his ProtOP because of being squishier.
I am not suggesting that hitting shift will always immediately do what you want it to do, because sometimes it doesn't come up, but yes, Devotion can block.

I had been trying ECC legit - no bug using - when I finally got my Devotion Paladin up to snuff. The party I ran with were mostly people I had met sometime before and they are all excellent players. We were making good progress - Traven at 50% or so and we had survived multiple uses of the Keg - when Traven suddenly decided he needed to firebomb me more. As a Devotion spec, you *have* to dodge that bomb, because Heroism and Sanctuary will not save you. However, even though I reacted within nanoseconds, I never made it outside of the red zone. Instagib. GG WP. Of course, this may be attributed to lag, and I strongly suspect some red zones are actually larger than the graphic shows, but it was frustrating to say the least.
Next couple of runs he - Traven - just kept firebombing me. I'm normally rather calm and collected, but this almost made me rage quit. And I felt like I was letting the team down massively. We'd be doing alright and two firebombs later I'd be dead on the floor and they'd be without a healer.
SHIFT (Sanctuary on an OP) should break the animation locking you in place. Due to delays in communication between you and the server and how well you time it, this may not always work and you will sometimes still put the ability you interrupted on cooldown. But if you react quickly it should work more often than not. There may be some abilities on some classes that cannot be interrupted by SHIFT.

Worth pointing out, though, that Relentless Avenger - as a Devotion Paladin - can sometimes be used as a kind of 'ghetto dodge' when targeting a teammate.
