Improved Disciplines and Glyph of Shield Wall are raiding talents/glyphs. Glyph of Cleave is not a raiding glyph. Ergo, you should drop Glyph of Cleave.

Getting the glyph of shield wall also lowers damage absorption by 20%. So here is the math to consider.
Pop Shield Wall(No Glyph)60% dmg reduce......4minute wait......60% dmg reduce total=120% over 4 minutes.
Pop Shield Wall(with Glyph)40% dmg reduce.....2minute wait....40% dmg reduce.....2minute wait....40% dmg reduce total =120% over 4 minutes.
The amount of over all damage reduction is the same its just of matter of how it is spaced out.
So the question becomes would you rather have greater reduction or more frequent. Being a tank I've always used it in emergency situation..at which point I want max allowed damage reduction.
If you feel the need to pop shield wall every two minutes then either your in a run under geared or your healers are over matched.

40% is plenty of damage reduction and i've found the 2 minute cooldown much more valuable than the extra 20% reduction. and i'm not even under-geared
or
running with over-matched healers :)
