Original Post:

Surely if you're aiming to trivialise the weak-hitting bosses, the defense enchant is preferable since 40 shield block value is near-negligible mitigation and a weak threat enchant at best - 40 damage on a shield slam or 8 extra damage on damage-shield pre-armor?

Assuming boss mitigation of around 30% (can't remember the figures for armor mitigation off the top of my head), that means 28 extra damage on shield slams. Surely not worth the loss in defense at all.
