These shouldn't be seen as benchmarks but more like rotation examples with some effort put into them as I did grind a little bit but it doesn't really compare to dedicated benchmarks.
If you wanted to bench both separately I believe you could reach slightly higher numbers, but this is more to bring awareness to these weapons and how they function currently.

Focus:
Bring this for the amazing pull on Focus 4 - Into the Void.
The rotation is fairly similar except we just skip casting another phantasm on the dagger set.

Shield:
Honestly I would be hard pressed to ever run shield in its current state.
It's main selling point, additional might, does not really function without excessive boon duration.
This is due to it providing only 15 seconds of might or 16.5 if you swap your Impact sigil over to a Concentration Sigil but we cast Tides of Time (Sh 5) every 18 seconds or later on average.
Leading to might uptimes of 83.3% or 91.6% with concentration.
So we just casually lose over 3k DPS for dysfunctional might

Some options to buff shield are:
1. Buff might duration to 20 seconds or reduce the cooldown slightly, this fixes the might issue and is the bare minimum I would expect as a buff.

2. Re-introduce the Alacrity/Quickness on Tides of Time with Stretched Time or Seize the Moment traited.
This change wouldn't really make Shield overpowered as it is a rather large dps loss but it would make it an ultra-safe option for people who want that and gives it more situational use cases.
