Are you elemental or restoration?
The
ward
is aimed at DPS spellcasters, while the
shield
is more for restoration shamans (and holy paladins). But of course, they're interchangable to a degree. If you're hit capped, the mp5 might be what you need. But in can be a reverse, as you shouldn't need too much mp5, and extra hit is always handy when you need to change gear around.
I'd recommend going with the ward, at least until you get a hold of the
Aegis of Damnation
from Maexxna in Naxx.

for pvp you would usually always want to have a shield equipped as that provides a huge bulk to your armor.
This is true. I often forget about PvP. Shield for PvP, for either spec.

..might be a bit late now, but...
Speaking as a Ele Shaman, I'd use the Ward for raiding, since it gives +Hit, and you really need all you can get until you're hit-capped for raiding.
I'd use the Shield for Soloing, Dailies, 5-man instances and pretty much everything else.
The armour, MP5 regen and better stats (if you enchant it) can help a lot in those cases.
(..Looks spiffy, too. :)
So it really depends on what you wanna do with it. :)
