At the end of the day, for a Concentration barb, monsters will have only 5% chance to hit you but that only include physical attack. Magic damage will still by pass your defense and hit you, and that is also something that shield cannot block. So there is really no point in using shield with such high defense.
If you can obtain the IK set, that will be the best thing you can wear. An all rounder with huge defense, resist, +skills, IAS, awesome elemental damage, top range physical damage, CB, dual leech, PDR, and lot of sockets for you to use. Almost like an armour specifically built for Concentration barb.
Ditch the shield and light sabre and use some heavy dual hand weapon, with such high defense and HPs you can really take some beating.
