The more accurate comparison is that Shield Oath reduces the amount of healing required by 20% while Defiance reduces it by 16.667
With no wrath stacks (no defiance healing), a war with 8000 hp requires 8000 hp to be healed full from 0. With wrath stacks, the same war requires ~6957 hp to be healed full from 0. The amount of healing reduced is 8000 - 6957 = 1043. The amount reduced as a portion of the whole is 1043 / 8000 = ~0.13. Defiance (currently) reduces healing required by 13%.
