Ever since the patch yesterday (and I had hoped this latest patch might ninja fix it...if it's a real issue) my shields have felt as if they are non-existent and I am dying left and right in STFs where normally the hits I'd take would barely make it through to the hull. Something seems really off when I'm popping 2-3 times in ISA compared to the 0-1 times I would pre-patch. Oh, and I haven't changed anything about my setup...

Check if your traits are still equipped.
Not sure if its lag and some bad luck that gave you a poor outcome yesterday.
But in my case, I really don't pay too much attention to shields.
Instead I prefer to focus on having a solid hull. and high resistance rating.
Polarize Hull, Aux to Inertial Dampners (doffed +res on use), brace for impact (doffed + res on use)
Another good solution is to use a kinetic resist plate, I've got one at epic that give +50 kinetic resist. Combined with doffed Brace for impact and aux to inertial dampners, its more then enough to deal with the someties troubling Borg Torpedos, add Hazard emitters for plasma burn clearing.
I think you must've just had a bad round or two, maybe due to lag.
did you notice your skills not going off on use ?
Happens to me all the time these days.
Having a heal not go off, when its imperative, is really a pain in the neck, and can get you killed easily if you don't notice it.
Nice advise. I forgot that, traits are sometimes unslotted (a bug that was never fixed) by time to time.
