For those of you with Microsoft Excel and a desire to understand how energy shield actually works as far as real effective hit points, try the following link:
http://www.pvpwest.com/EHPcalc.xls
After entering your basic statistical information, this spreadsheet will calculate your total effective hit points for all six primary types of damage and also calculate how much damage you can take over long period of time, assuming that your energy shield never drops.
It is based on information and formulas for 1.09 located here: http://home2.pacific.net.sg/~xinhuan/hcsorc/hpmana.html and adapted to patch 1.11.
Comments, suggestions, and corrections are more than welcome.
