From what i understand and have seen shields are only really viable on tanks since they can can build for a truckload of ranged defense and can cap hp as well.

I tell this to everyone who ever asks me about what to make in PvP...
1) Pick a role -
A) Ranged Damage - ie. Blasters
B) Support - Empath, Sonic, Therm, etc..
C) Disruption - Storm, Cold, TA
D) Melee Damage - Scrappers, Tanks, Stalkers
2) Learn your Role - Practice makes perfect
3) Have a thick skin
As far as fotm:
A) Ranged Damage - Psi/EM, Rad/EM
B) Support - Ill/Emp, Earth/Emp, Mind/Emp, Sonic/Therm
C) Disruption - Grav/TA, Ice/Cold, Earth/TA, Sonic/Storm
D) Melee Damage - */Regen, */Elec Tanks and Brutes, */WP/Mako Stalkers
There are reasons these are FOTM's its pry better not to try and reinvent the wheel, but play whatever you have fun with.

Actually, since your fire melee, you have a decent scrapper set for zone pvp cuz it can pump out good DPS, and shields is great for getting away back to base to heal back up (if you go straight back to base). Although a shield Tank can survive maybe 5-10 more seconds in the average fight, scrappers can get access to webgrenade in the weapons mastery which can be very disruptive and defensive. So if you get most of your heavy hitting single target attacks, bring up your ranged and melee defense, get super jump and super speed, get weapons mastery for webnade and focus accuracy, and get either aidself or phase, you'd be good to go.
