Can Active and Passive Blocking be Mixed in Ashes of Creation?

This is a follow up to the video I did about Action and Tab combat and blending them, specifically the idea of how to give action fans active blocking without breaking the waterfall component of blocking that tab players are looking for. This is a work in progress with some different ideas for how you can blend active blocking with passive blocking without making shield users overpowered. I would love to hear what other people have to say about this via a few questions:

Do you think that active blocking should be in Ashes?
Do you think that active blocking should exclude passive blocking?
Do you think active blocking and passive blocking can exist in the same game?

The forum thread that kicked off this discussion is here:
