I think an one solution would be to take shield bash off global cooldown and give it a 20-30 second cooldown. Or just make bosses immune to it. I'd prefer the later.
Making HM Ifrit immune to the stun would actually help more than changing shield bash. Shield bash and its ilk were the devs' way of foregoing having to invent interrupt mechanics that are par the course in MMORPGs. You don't need interrupt mechanics when everything can be stunnable or vulnerable to silence.
