I'm not ruling out all the many uses the feats have, i'm just pointing out that shield master is (most of the time) and offensive feat.while dual wielder is (in some cases) better at defending than shield master.What really makes a difference is the interpretation of the sage advice on dual wielder.Clears the intent but doesn't clear the rules around dual wielding with improvised weapons... so still not sure if you can dual wield a shield.</blockquote>
