Sword of Spirit

The language on the benefit of taking the Dodge action while using a heavy shield is unclear to me. Is the expertise die to your AC supposed to replace the Disadvantage to attacks against against you (as the word “instead” might apply) or to supplement it?
It seems to me that it would be worse than a regular Dodge the majority of the time in the first case, so my inclination is to take the second interpretation and assume “instead” is referring to the fluff of what you are doing rather than the mechanics of the bonus, but I’d like to know what the intent is.
