It depends on the situation. Against burst it's pretty crappy, but against sustained damage and poke the shield is godlike. Which is... let's say not typical for shields. Usually shields last only for a very short time and are there to counter a burst of damage, while heals are better for dealing with poke and dot's.

Lux' shield on the other hand is perfect for countering dots and poke due to it's delayed refresh and high base value. That becomes more apparent in teamfight's which is the strongest scenario for Lux' W. The strength of her shield correlates with the umber of allies you hit, making it incredibly powerful if your whole team is grouped. Also, in teamfights there often aren't single bursts of damage that hit your mates but instead constant damages of spells, attacks from the enemies adc and headbashing from the enemies frontline. Which is just perfect for Lux' W.

In other words: Lux is incredibly strong against teams who rely on DPS and poke. Against assassins and burst mages however, she won't be able to protect her mates.
