Yes, Stormspire exists, and yes, it is a quite decent WW weapon. However, it's very rare, so you might have a spot of difficulty locating one of your own.
Good alternatives:
- The Immortal King's Stone Crusher (Set Ogre Maul): good damage, quite fast, and exceedingly common. The only real drawbacks are the high level and strength requirements.
- Ribcracker (Unique Quarterstaff): A very fast and very effective midlevel weapon. Better than Hwanin's Bill by a decent margin, and fully capable of taking you all the way through Hell.
- Messerschmidt's Reaver (Unique Champion Axe): Great damage, though a bit slower than the IK Maul.
- Buriza-do Kyanon (Unique Ballista): Amazons aren't the only ones that can benefit from the astounding overpoweredness of this weapon. Pump Dexterity for increased damage. You may get some flak from the purists out there, though; for some reason, they can't accept the fact that Weredruids can melee with ranged weapons. :P
- Cruel Elite 2-handed Weapon of Quickness: These are always useful, but rare.
Really, just check out TheDragoon's Guide, and most, if not all, of your questions will be answered.
Yes, Werewolves can block with shields. Benefit is a much stronger word than I would use :D; the added Resists that shields allow is nice, but usually a Wolf will be better off swinging away with a big 2-handed weapon.
