I feel your pain, but most of these issues go back to Shared Parameters which are a diabolical mess for most users. Just adding a Revision schedule to your titleblock is a challenge even for an experienced user, but a piece of cake for any AutoCAD beginner.
By far the biggest pain with Titleblocks is the North Point — getting the angle to be reliably parametric and adjustable from within the project is almost impossible, and then it doesn't match the project/site orientation — users have to manually update it on every sheet. With this fact, you are left with many users who skip the step of setting the project angle correctly (because it pretty much does nothing) and then horrified to discover much later that the shadow angles (which we require for Govt Development Approval) are sometimes wrong. If Titleblocks could support matching the north orientation automatically, this would cease to be an issue since it's immediately apparent from any sheet.
