What jumps at me is you save about 1.5khp over a thousand hits with the shield past the cap, which is sub 4%? Seems like you'd have better mitigation with quicker kills using a 2hand/DW.
Only real reason I see using a shield is maybe for raid encounters where a max hit round could 1shot the MT. It would lower the chances of getting such a round but I'm a non raider, wouldn't surprise me if MTs didn't bother at this point.

I believe the final value is closer to 2k damage according to my 363 AC tests:

I think it was 1.5k on the 250 AC test because I wasn't that far above the softcap. But it could be a bit of RNG as well.
Assuming a 46 AC shield would double this value, a higher AC shield like whitestone shield at 39 AC would reduce damage by (39 / 46) * 4000 damage = 3388 damage.
That would be more like 8% for a Warrior with a 39 AC shield perhaps, but this is just a guess.
