I totally agree! I was so looking forward to having this shield again, and was so disappointed to not see it on the Game Guide with all of the new lvl 70 legendaries.
The 'Paladin Only' arguement is invalid. There are plenty of items from D2 that returned with D3 that were class only, to be put on the new classes, so Blizz surely can't be that concerned about it. From a lore standpoint, too, surely anybody who follows the Zakarum faith would wield such a sacred relic.
There are also already Crusader legendaries with their provenance being from Paladins, so that wouldn't be an excuse not to put in the Herald of Zakarum.
Thinking of Diablo II uniques, I would have liked for this to return, especially with Crusader's being able to wield a 2-hander in one hand: http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Cloudcrack
