These are the AdBlock Facebook rules you want:

  ||facebook.com^$domain=~facebook.com|~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net
  ||facebook.net^$domain=~facebook.com|~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net
  ||fbcdn.com^$domain=~facebook.com|~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net
  ||fbcdn.net^$domain=~facebook.com|~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net

The key is to allow FB's CDN when on FB, but to disallow it and everything else when not on FB.

What are the ramifications of doing this? Is all explicit sharing also disabled?

It means Facebook lives on Facebook.com only.

If you need it to appear anywhere else temporarily then you use the AdBlock switch to temporarily whitelist a site or domain.

You can always use what I call "old school" sharing - just copy & paste the relevant URL in a status update.
