(Unfortunately I only have one rank in the shield recharge gear...)

    Yes, as far as I know it does.

    Shield recharge may well be a good avenue to go down. Let me know how it works out.

    Also, have you considered a 6/6/3/5/6 build for the Shadow? If you're relying mainly on Shadow Strike then you don't need the full six ranks in Electric Slash. It remains perfectly usable with only three ranks from my experience, whilst putting points into the class passive lets you bring along something more substantial than a predator without reducing your cooldowns.

I know that the lack of dodge is important and that he's no Krogan, but I feel like I'm getting dropped way more than I used to, and far more than a guy who's that tanky should be.
    Don't be fooled by the copious shields, the Destroyer isn't really all that tanky, particularly once you get past silver. You need high shields and either DR or some way to restore them easily to be decently durable.
