I hold to my opinion though that an Heirloom shield is unneccesary (4 would be required afterall - tanking, healing, ranged, melee), the darned quest rewards just need to be fixed.
What? No. You'd only need 2 shields. Shamans are going for int shields regardless of whether they're healing or doing ranged DPS, and melee DPS should use a 2h weapon.

I would support heirloom shields. Those who dont want them just dont have to use them. THe reason I am in favor is that 2 hands are available for melee. there are some crafted alternatives (inscription) for offhands, but there are almost no crafted shields. So. it is difficult to come up with a shield (except the really expensive to craft ones, that use rare ingrediants)
Instead of heirloom, I would be almost as happy with them creating a BS or LW crafted shield for about every 10 levels or so (2 types, one with tanking stats, one with caster stats should do it)
Some of them could be blue quality but most green quality. I was running around with a shield for my War's prot set that was like lvl 40 when I hit outlands and tried to tank. It wasn't pretty.
To the person who said run dungeons... You do understand the random nature of loot, by the time the shield drops at any particular dungeon, you will probably outlevel it. (which is why the heirlooms are so nice)
