Shields are (from an optimization standpoint) inferior to the other combat forms. The idea Ive been kicking around is that if an attack draws its line through a character wielding a shield to another target, that target would get the shield bonus as well as the normal cover bonus.

I was also considering making shields increase to AC affect touch AC as well, basically giving shield users a free feat (http://dndtools.eu/feats/players-handbook-ii--80/shield-specialization--2594/).

All thoughts and comments are appreciated.

I can suggest a shield feat or two. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?166004-Building-a-Better-Shield-Fighter)
