How effective is Arcane Ward + Armor of Shadows really?

It's basically "2*Level+3" HP every combat. I don't think it's terrible, but you're hardly invincible because of it. Effetively, it's one extra hit you can tank.

Am I missing something?
It makes your effective hit die into a d10 which is pretty great. At second level when you get your ward, it gives you ~50% more HP.
