Did the maths about the shield. Assuming you max W second live, but max it last after rework ( gives you 8% bonus MS anyway), the shield is going to be equal at levels 2 and 8. If by level 8 you have , it's higher. If by level 10 you have  +, it's going to be higher until level 12. To match the value at level 13 you must have at least ,  and a .
 * current SHIELD (maxed second):  80 / 135 / 190 / 245 / 300 (+ 80% AP)
 * new SHIELD (with the items mentioned above):  80 / 217 / 243 / 266 / 301 (+ 80% AP)

This is without counting runes (who would run HP runes on Skarner though?) and masteries.
