..only when you make an effective "block". The block itself protects you (provided you block well and there isn't much splash damage). The resistance protects your shield from damage. It may also effect you as well with splash damage (never tested that).

I've found shields to be rather useless in the game unless your facing archers or mages. Most of the NPC's surround you so effectively that your getting hit from behind more often than not and even armor is almost useless in those situations. There is only one shield that I really care to have and thats the Dragon sheild and then only when I'm Dragon hunting
If you are going to use sheilds though they dont get really effective until you reach the heavy sheilds.
