Yep shield blocking is powerful, but as mentioned before there seem to be no decent shields out there. been looking alot for a shield that was just remotely decent with no success. But the skill shield blocking is up there with sharpen weapon as one of the most powerful skills. For a melee caracter it is far better to put as much as possible into shield blocking rather than the meager gains you can get from putting them into weapon damage for instance. My humble opinion ofcourse.
Ohh and one hand with no shield is a totally meaningless skill (can be used until you can get to the first battlefield ofcourse). Either you should go 2 hand or 1 hand with shield.
