Think it might have been WS.

'Cos mercs don't have high dex (or most don't) and they land slam often enough, pretty sure +skill just increases damage also.

Don't quote me though, I gave up my reaver well before the easymode shield patch.

As far as I know, dex, shield, and weaponskill varying on your class.

The thing which is shown as weaponskill on your character info is calculated from your main hand weapon, it isn't the same value for the shield. I believe that the block/slam rate still varies on the weaponskill modifier for your class (so Wardens won't block as much as Warriors), but is not listed for the shield slot.

Shield skill
Dex

Weapon skill doesn't have anything to do with it iirc. VN boards had some tests a while ago. There was talk of a 'hidden' shield skill that was based on those two items.

edit: Ohh & the thing you're slamming with as artis & some other things (champ weapons etc) have a higher to hit bonus than crafted items.

That bug was removed, read the patch notes.
