It sure as heck isn't Recount. Anyone familiar with an addon that does?

Amount absorbed = resisted/sacred shielded/etc.
I suppose, in a round about way, actually taking damage is a form of absorbing it... via flesh wound.
And the only thing that you mentioned that actually is an absorb is SS.
Resist is a resist mechanic, if you wish you could call it mitigation. It's far away from even being absorb
ish
.
The only absorbs paladins have access to that are worth mentioning are SS and the Valanyr proc.

Recount guessed absorbs.

Does Skada work in the same way as Recount aka monitoring essentially the same numbers in a group/raid setting? I don't know if any of you have noticed, but I'm currently more active in the Priest forums since there isn't much else to learn about holy paladins... (For now. That will change in future patches and the upcoming expansion)
The idea is to be able to monitor my progress as I gather gear and prepare to take up a healing role in my guild's 2nd ICC10 team.
Edit: I also want to try something that's more difficult but stay in a healing role. Attempting to master Holy and Disc should satisfy my craving for challenge for the time being.

Skada has alot more options than recount, it's easier to get precise information and it's alot more user friendly.
Recount is better all in all, but alot harder to get better. Though recount doesn't have the guesstimate absorb thingy (in its standard suite).
I'd say go with skada, it'll most certainly please most, if not all, your needs.

Wait, what? So what makes Recount better?
Question - is it 'guessed absorbs' because Recount can't distinguish between which ability is being absorbed? (eg, if you have PW:S and Sacred Shield on a target).
And is there a similar addon or plugin that allows us to calculate the damage absorbed from attacks that we've done? (eg, when attacking a shielded target)

More options != more utility nor more precision.
I think it doesn't guess
your
absorbs since they're completely visible in your combat log, i think it's guessing the other players absorbs since there's no way of telling how much a shield absorbs on a tank when you aren't synced to either the one casting the absorb nor the one receiving it in anyway.
Recount will show you damage done when it's absorbed, pretty sure of it at least.
LDW will absorb everything right? Cause then I'm sure of it.

To my knowledge, "Recount Guess Absorb" has this name historically. From the time when amount absorbed was not clearly printed in the log.
Now it likely count them straight, without a guess.
Not using it myself, so can't give strict answer.

Ohh, you mean it counts the absorbed damage you've taken?
I was thinking it'd count the damage that your shields have absorbed, as opposed to other people's shields. There is still a way to read it from the combat log (since you can see the damage that your tank has taken if you select "Everything"), providing that you know what order the shields get depleted in.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't - I can test it later by flailing away at someone with PW:S on.

I'm kinda just guessing here but i think it'll record accurately all damage that is absorbed by your absorb mechanics or when you absorb blows since those are clearly visible in your log.
The other stuff I'm not sure how it's going to guesstimate so I don't know what to make of it.
