I have noticed the exact issues you've stated with. I've alliviated these issues by using runes instead of.

It has worked pretty successfully so far as the general way to counter is poking rather than bursting as if you take to much effort to kill someone with, the shield will block a large portion of your efforts.

I admit it's lame forgoing the early game damage just to have enough to buy an item that seems mandatory to buy against  assassins, but it is doable as well as it is just as effective as getting  runes-- runes are primary quints and glyphs after all. This is how I personally adapted to this bullshit.
