I like synergistic skills, though I guess any increasing damage would be synergistic in nature since 1H spec doesn't just increase damage from AP, but all damage.
And yes, 1H spec bonus damage does apply to shield spec, as can be tested by sundering a target to zero defense (you can verify it's at zero when hamstring does full listed damage) and looking at the damage you do... you will see values 10% higher than listed on the tool tip if you have 5/5 1H spec. When I was testing this, I was using elite ogres in Alterac. Can get them to zero defense, they don't hit too hard, but have enough HP that they aren't dead before you get a chance to use what you want to test.

I've long been aware that 1h spec affects Shield Slam and Shield Bash damage output.
I don't like the idea of AP being the determining factor simply because that's the same thing that affects Bloodthirst damage. I advocate shield Armor value primarily because of that :)
