Currently at 26, Unrest is amazing. I'm looking at shields, are there any that could be recommended? The Clay Guardian Shield seems cheap and pretty decent.

Shields are of very little use to a warrior. You might potentially take slightly less damage if you're pulling with a shield and then hotswapping to a dual wield / 2H loadout once you're back with your group, but that's unnecessary and insanely tedious. You generally want to be dual wielding or using a strong two-handed weapon because you'll be doing substantially more damage, which in turn makes enemies fall over faster and thus decreases the amount of time that they're hitting you (and makes leveling faster to boot).
Your groups will LOVE you if you're using something really good, like a Forged / Exquisite velium two-hander, until dual wielding starts to become the better option around level 40. You'll be doing most of the damage in your groups in most cases, and your casters will basically just sit there and do nothing while soaking up XP 95% of the time.
