At most, Sheltron's "effective" duration is 3s (Less on multiple targets, but never more, since it only blocks one hit). It means that it mitigates 30%, of damage, at most, 10% of the overall time (Duration/Recast) for, at most, 3% average mitigation.
On the 90% remaining time, your basic block rate applies., so 90%*4.5% = 4.05%

So, by combining Sheltron and passive Block, you obtain 3%+4.05% = 7,05%.

The benefit of Shletron is not to mitigate a lot more, but mitigate more reliably.
He was speaking about when you toggle Sheltron to mitigate a specific attack. Even if you could also have blocked it WITHOUT Sheltron, using Sheltron still increases your average mitigation FOR THE INCOMING HIT by 26% with a 30% block strength shield in comparison to if you didn't use Sheltron.

Average sustained mitigation doesn't matter in this game.
