How would you do that so that it won't be gamed by people who aren't actually slashing?
As far as I'm concerned on public game, while the player who shield will not get much direct exp, they will see the later much more often than those who don't. Many public games go under quite fast because no one can, or, in most cases, is willing to shield. The fact that they consistently get themselves to the later waves ought to balance their over all exp and gold intake.
Are you saying that the repetitive and near skill-less action of slashing behind a shieldwall, and shooting into a crowd of nords is an action that deserves more? Anyone in the cade, including the shielder, has a pretty easy time taking out the nords.
It's not like the shielder isn't doing anything either. He has to be careful about his shield levels, be able to have enough foresight to pick up dropped shields if their shield is breaking, be able to pick up those shields which he cannot see due to the nords attacking his shield, and is the person most at risk of dying if they have anything less than a royal.
