Avoidance is the key to avoid burst, not HP.
If a feral 1-shots you, you are bad geared. Also, say you have 2,5k hp in FC set. VS a feral, 1,25% damage reduction (98armor), would still come on top with about 11hp (in terms of effective health). So no, grunts shield should never be used unless the opposing team is like 90% casters. Not to mention the 6str which gives a little bit of parry too.
