Just need help settling this, as a guildy and I (he's a prot pally, I'm a druid) are in disagreement.
One of us thinks that Avenger's Shield still interrupts. The other thinks it doesn't. Which is true?

Avenger's Shield
It says it does, so why wouldn't it? Granted I haven't touched my pally since Cata.

Hmmm, I could have sworn I read that they changed it. My bad.

A lot
of people are having trouble reading tooltips/talents nowadays, so it's not just you. Almost every raid I get questions like, "Are you
sure
that HoJ interrupts?" and "Are you
sure
that Avenger's Shield interrupts?" Yes, yes I'm quite sure that both interrupt, and that's typically when a Holy or Ret paladin decides to speak up. "CLEARLY you didn't read patch notes, HoJ doesn't interrupt anymore."
/sigh

Well, you're half right. It did change, but opposite to what you think. Avenger's Shield previously
didn't
interrupt. Prior to 4.0.1, it only silenced (though talents). So, if the target in question was immune to silence, it didn't interrupt. In 4.0.1, they folded the silence into the ability, and gave it the "Spellcasting is also interrupted for 3 seconds" bit. They did the same thing for Hammer of Justice through talents.
Now, regarding HoJ, I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall that it used to interrupt, then they removed it, and then they folded it into talents later. It will be removed once again in 4.0.6, as Rebuke goes baseline.

I'm pretty sure they axed HoJ's interrupt outside of talents, as well. I tried to use it as an interrupt once when I was still Ret and the cast bar just kept on going.

Vindication
currently gives that effect.
Misread. I believe the interrupt effect that existed as a base ability was relegated to talents in 4.0.1.
