Blinding Shield

Blinding Shield would be a new paladin ability that would come with Cataclysm, learned at level 81. It was first announced in the Cataclysm paladin preview.http://wowvault.ign.com/fullstory.php?id=56958http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/710837-Paladin-Cataclysm-Preview-Compilation However it seems to have been removed and replaced with Inquisition (paladin ability) as the level 81 ability.
Blinding Shield would damage and blind all nearby targets. This effect might have ended up only damaging those facing the paladin's shield, in a manner similar to 's ability Radiance in Trial of the Champion. The Holy tree would have a talent to increase the damage and critical strike chance, while the Protection tree would have a talent to make this spell instant cast. 2-second base cast time. Would require a shield.
While scrapped in Cataclysm, it seems Blizzard gave it a new chance in Mists of Pandaria as "Blinding Light", a level 87 spell which disorients targets in a 10 yard radius for 6 seconds.
