Excuse my ignorance, but never have played a tank and being someone who is interested in making one soon, I would assume wearing a shield over dual-wielding /Two- Handing would be the more efficient decision? Stricly for the purpose of Tanking?

Depends on the class. Hybrids get an AC cap without shields, and mostly generate their threat through spells, with taunt as a backup (the Paladin epic also gets around the AC cap). Warriors have no such cap on their AC, shield or not. Warriors HAVE to rely on taunt and their weapons for aggro, and it's limited until their weapons start procing at the higher levels.
So, for Paladins and Shadowknights, 1h/shield works best, until the Pally gets their epic. Warriors should be dual wielding or 2hing at all times.
