These are probably stupid questions, but have you upgraded your Power Word: Shield spell? I believe you get a new rank at level 12 which should hold up for longer than you seem to be experiencing. And if you did upgrade, are you using the new rank? When I played open beta I started with a rogue- most new ranks of skills replaced the old ones. When I started a caster class, I played for many levels thinking the same thing applied. I noticed a marked increase in my killing speed when I started using the appropriate ranks. :)
