Can someone clarify whether or not a shield is the way to go and why? It seems everyone is 50/50 about the idea of using a shield. Just hit inferno and want to grab some gear off the AH - Thanks

Shield is better than 15% dodge, the dodge stacking diminishingly.

Dodge+resist is almost 100% more efficient.
