It's less a factor of what a Noct AST can do, and more that the NoctAST/SCH pair just does not synergize with shields in the slightest.
Show me a noct AST doing 3000 hps while doing 98+th percentile dps, I can already tell you it doesn't exist. Not even remotely close, only possible when you're mainhealing in diurnal in which case you'd have a SCH co with eos assisting you. Also . . . what? We're talking about N.Ast and SCH competing for the same raid slot. Bringing up N.Ast/Sch is just straight up memeing.
