Will my shield/ss tank ever get to use the new animations again? will his brawl ever not be the empty handed hurl animation??

According to BackAlleyBrawler it's fixed, and should be working its way into a new build:

With the shield away, my guy still throws punches while Ninja Running.
I believe I fixed that bug the other day. Same issue as custom animations for Super Strength and Shields.

That's good news.

When BABs says it's fixed, he means on his computer. He then has to wait for that information to go through the QA team, then be added to a patch for the test server, and once it's gotten a few days of player testing, then it's put on the live servers.

So it depends on your definition and perspective of "fixed." As far as BABs is concerned, it is fixed.

I dusted off the old SS/SD and was dissapointed to see this. It *was* working at one point.

BAB's post linked above was on 11/12/09, it's now 2/3/10.

Boo.

The last thing Brawler said about this was on 01/06/10:

As far as I know, this is what's happening. I remember fixing this a while back, and I'm a bit surprised it hasn't made it into a build yet.

The fixes were checked in on 11/10/2009. My best guess is that these changes haven't been added to any incremental build...so keep an eye out for the next full build and hopefully it will show up then.
So, as far as I can tell, we have to wait for the next full build, and that could be awhile, since most of the resources are focused on Going Rogue and Posi's End Game Content Team.

Or, in other words, Soon!™

Yeah, my Shield/SS is at 50, but I like playing him fairly often. I keep waiting for this to come out to take him for a spin again, as I want to see the new looks some more.

Yeah it's only hurl that makes me giggle like an idiot. I miss the new KO blow and Haymaker.
