While the shield is one of her biggest assets, her one weakness (as with most champions) is hard CC. If she's silenced, knocked up, snared, etc, it can be devastating to her survivability. If she's unable to use her skills, she's immediately put in danger of dying. With a CDR based build, her shield will save her plenty of times, but without proper survivability, she can be taken out. I prefer the HP boost for the psychological effect on enemies as well; they will typically aim for the less tanky champions.
