What are the rune slots in shields for? Haven't found any use for them up to Act 3.

In my opinions, shields are almost worthless in this game, especially on the higher difficulties. Battles are often decided by who can effectively CC their opponents first and favors offense to defense.
AI is programmed to target mages/archers/rogues etc. first and without any real way for melee classes to peel/aggro there is absolutely no use to making a tank character. Hell, the summoner skill incarnate is infinitely better at tanking because it gets the Taunt ability which can pull aggro.
