I think the proper home for the Shield powerset would be the Brick framework since it emphasizes strength and toughness over speed and agility. The existing Enrage, Defiance, and Retaliation mechanics could be adapted for use with Shield powers. Counterstrike could be a generic Brick enrage stacking toggle that any hero could use (especially the "Huik" types who get mad from being hit rather than hitting).
Travel Power: Shield Surf
This would also permit you to just use other powers while your character is wearing it.
One break we'd have to accept is that any instance of our characters throwing the shield would have to use a generic geo instead of our shield's specific model. This could be worked around by giving the thrown model be sufficiently blurred so as to be plausible for any model we could get.
This would also be a good opportunity to release a "Weapons Pack 2", which would contain additional shield skins, plus adding shields and may existing weapon models as back options, (where applicable).

Actually that was what I suggested for the passive. You can be doing anything but still have some damage resistance but the moment you go into a block, the damage resistance is multiplied. The active defense will also multiply this damage resistance.
Graphics wise, I do not see it as a major issue because it will be like having the shield animation on all the time then when a shield power is used, the 3D shield model on the toon is hidden while the 3D shield model is used for the attack animation. I also agree that anyone taking the passive should have a permanent shield all the time.

I find it tragically humorous that the picture the arrow is pointing at... is no longer smiling, and instead has an expression of dissatisfied acceptance.
