The enemy can just walk away for a bit and then re-engage when the shield's down. By then, most of your CD's would be down save for maybe 3rd Q and/or W and the enemy would be able to damage her real health.

Another thing, HP regen actually gives HP. E gives effective health for 1.5 secs. Its harder to actually compare the 2 and say which is better, its mainly in terms of what situations would one be better than the other. Also, with E on its CD, Riven is more vulnerable to harass and with the nerfs to her health regen, it affects that time considerably.

There's nothing stopping you from spamming it in lane to absorb them damages, so you can use it for every little thing? Simply said, you'd use it to either engage, escape or absord poke. There's no other reason to, but you made it out like you use it whenever its off CD, whether you take damage or not.

You can't compare Riven's shield to Sivir's speel shield. Why? Becaese Sivir blocks the spell, its effect and damage. Riven's only acts as more health, meaning if the damage is more than the shield's strength it breaks as well as not blocking the ability itself.
