If I need an instant dizzy I use Back Slam at level 1/2/3, nice if it works, gives me some time for balestra+shield bash/knock (if I use spears), or d-limb+defensive support/knock (when I'm with axes).

I don't think shield bash is easy to use as a knight. Just try to use it by itself. It is almost impossible to hit a player with it if they are not immobilized by some means. Really, in real life are you going to run up to a person, stop and wait 1/2 a seconds to hit them with something, I don't think so. Also trying to chase down a moving target to hit them with a melee attack that require you to stop to cast is very hard to do with out knocking the target first if you can catch them.
I agree that this spell might be a bit overpowered if it was an instant, So I would suggest adjusting it a bit by adding a little higher price to use it or lowering the amount of damage by 10% and making it instant. Knights need to be able to do their Job of support and crowd control. If they don't adjust it to really make it useful I would suggest they replace it with something that will be helpful.
