Assume you're in the most perfectly adapted situation for this, i.e. you're against a ranged champion with only projectile-based abilities (say, Ezreal mid or top), and you max your W first. To quickly and fully regenerate your shield, you're going to have to use your E about three or four, perhaps five times, which means pushing your lane and thus eventually losing cs once you're at the enemy's turret. Your Wind Wall's cooldown will be 8 seconds shorter and the wall itself will be nearly twice as wide than at rank 1, but on the other hand you lose a vast amount of damage, meaning you're going to be forced into playing defensively (which Yasuo does poorly at) and won't be able to farm nearly as effectively as if you maxed out your Q or E first.
