It's an issue of absoluteness versus duration. There are some points at which avoiding a lot of damage for a short period of time outweigh avoiding less damage over longer time. If it's a long fight with regular damage, I'd take the healing. If it were a short fight or large burst of damage, I'd choose the shield.
Both have their place in PVP as well. In mass PVP the shield would help you stay alive perhaps long enough to get a few heals off or for reinforcements to arrive, but the healing has huge benefits for 1 on 1 battles where you have to outlast your opponent.
Neither side got shortchanged in PVP or PVE in my opinion.

I actually just checked the
CBT 2 DP Skills Article and it looks like both skills last 30 seconds so forget what I just said. I'm guessing it's a tradeoff between healing or preventing damage. I'd certainly prefer the shield.
