Dust forums just wouldn't be the same without at least 5 new threads every day consisting of nothing but shield users whining.
Please, make my Opus pretty...

Because there is no list!
The pros and the cons are well balanced.

You seem to be the one moaning about us complaining about our shield sucking compared to your armor. Scared much that shields get on par with armor huh?
Shields already are on par with armor.

Overall, shields are better than armor. However, they only shine when you know how to make them work. Shields take more skill to use effectively, and pay for it with less overall drawbacks. Don't believe me? Run a shield tanked Cal or Min Assault. Learn how to use cover. You would be surprised about how much damage you can take over time if you know when to disengage and regen.
That's called diminishing returns on a sklii:power balanced game.
Its why the Laser Rifle and Plasma Cannon are **** weapon unless they are used right, in which case they become deadly.

It is very easy to argue that 66 HP with a minimum of 20HP/s, even with the delay and delat penalties, is just as good, if not better, than a flat 75 HP boost.

I play shield suits. I run speed/regen suits and i love them but they don't have enough shield hp to truly be REGEN kings since they can get pulverized by a few rounds from the guns on this game. Also i dont no what this shields are regen bs is because on eve almost all my ships are tanked with resistance mods hp and damage mods
They decided to handle shields and armor differently in Dust. The way they did it works better for FPSs. I personally applaud the desicion to make shields for regen and armor for tankiness. It just works better than more traditional MMO mechanics would work in an FPS.
