Afaik the HP gems for shields were introduced with later patches and were crafted. Imo they were a good addition to the game since the old blockrate gems didnt fit every shield users playstyle. After all to make blockrate worth anything you gotta stack it quite highly and preferably play with defense and alot of stamina.
Some classes especially healers and mages with shields such as offtanks often dont invest enough into stamina to make a blockrate centric build viable which is why HP shieldgems should be introduced in the current version. It opens more options and if they can be obtained the same way as blockrate gems they would be a great addition.
