Depends on the mob really. Because I'm a cheapskate, and shihei price is skyrocketing, I tried to see how good I'd do without shadows and I found, extremely well. There's only a few mobs with devastating moves/attacks that are worth using shihei on, which means even for most tanking needs /WAR would do just fine. Sure, occasionally would still need to /NIN it up, but I'd be ok with that.

Yeah, that would be a great addition, especially if those parries would allow skillups.
