Yep it brings down enemy shields faster. I know from using the harp weapons for evokers/summoners. Shield penetration is probably better unless you want to bring down the shields faster for minions and/or other party members.

Take the listed Shield overload %, multiple that to your base damage, and then add it. you'll do that much more damage to the sheilds, and therefore, Yes it will help you take down the enemies shield faster. But as Wily already mentioned, shield penetration is way better...as you can just by pass their shields.
