Shield is good for a few things:
- Borrowed Time, allowing for a faster Penance (which doesn't consume the buff) and a longer cast (eg. Mind Control, Greater Heal)
- It acts as extra dispel fodder!
- It is kind of like an instant 10,000 heal...
- It returns mana when destroyed/dispelled!
It's a utility spell that's anything but a shield. Your real shields are Barrier and Pain Suppression (which will go from 65% to 100% undispellable in the future if Blizz sticks to their current patch plans).
Disc Priests are considered the worst PVP healers at the moment, but I wouldn't be too discouraged; Priests have generally been weak in the first Arena season of each expansion and Blizzard has acknowledged the healing Priest's shortcomings. They're still great in Battlegrounds as well.
However, Holy is leaps and bounds more fun in Battlegrounds when it comes to giving speed boosts for capping flags. They're also said to be more survivable in higher end Arena at the cost of mana conservation. Still, you get a really sexy CC: Chastise.
