Unless they get a rework, shields are very ineffective, even on high-shielded warframes. Too many things can bypass or strip shields away so Primed Vigor is in all practically only half the effective hit points it would have added for 4 more energy drain than vitality and 2 more energy drain over Redirection. Shields also do not benefit from dmg mitigation from armor, only a select few abilities can mitigate dmg to shields. All of my serious end-game builds use only a maxed Vitality and/or Quick Thinking.

Primed Fury on the other hand is way more useful in my opinion since it's straight up more dps. Having more attack speed also speeds up melee finishers and charge speeds on gunblades, and it makes some really slow weapons viable.
