My elec/shield ran the warrior clan map today (Not farming) and was way faster and safer than my fire/kin, so yes it is great for farming. The problem is that it is only great for farming when you have made a fair investment in it, where as a fire/kin is almost free.
I doubt however it is much cop in PvP since defence is worthless and you will be a very lucky person to hit someone with shield charge in a PvP zone.

Shield can be average in PvP I've seen a few in PvP and they weren't all that great. Electric/Shield is great at farming, but for farming I'd rather roll a Fire/Kin. Nothing can even match the efficiency of a Fire/Kin.

Shield is worse than SR in PvP. The powers that make shield great, AAO and Shield Charge, are next to useless in PvP because no one is going to stay in melee to fuel AAO, and it's very hard to hit with Shield Charge and Lightning Rod on a moving target.
Coupled with the fact that any serious PvP build has plenty of accuracy and to-hit buffs, and you might as well carry a chunk of styrofoam on your arm for all the good it will do you. It might be an ok fight clubber (melee vs melee) but any ranged character will destroy you.
Elec/Shield is a great farmer though, so it should work good for that.
Note: Don't think you have to farm to play the game. There are plenty of ways to earn stuff without farming.
