So we have earth shield, i seem to recall there being a water shield back in tbc or somesuch, cant remember what it did. Lightning shield i think still exists as a talent.
Why not return water shield, and add a flame shield? Make one of the four baseline for each spec, and be able to change it to the other three via a talent.
Enhancement: lightning shield baseline. Can talent to earth, water, or fire.
Elemental: fire shield baseline. Can talent to earth, lightning, or water.
Restoration: water shield baseline. Can talent to earth, fire, or lightning shield.

Water shield was for mana regen. They baked that into our passive that returns mana on crits. Though resto has access to the Water speaker’s totem that gives you water shield for an hour as well as Tadpole cloud seeder that causes rain of frogs
Lightning shield was used by ele and enhance. I cant really remember if resto used or not. it did damage to melee
Earth shield is talented by all though it use to be baseline resto

I came across a mob in zuldazar that had water shield, the buff said it did frost damage to attackers and slowed spellcasting for attackers.
Flame shield could cause damage over time, or better yet apply flame shock to attackers which would work great for elemental with lava surge
Lightning shield originally just damaged your attackers. Somewhere around Cata is was basically maelstrom that built up and could be thrown through ES
