Dmg shield hybrid build

I'm currently a lvl 122 dips warrior. At 150 in considering hybrid with dmg shield but found very little advice on the forums for a ravager/reaver shield build. (Probably because hybrid isn't great at anything)
So my question is, what are some tips for hybrid build (mainly for solo lvling or farming)
I have comrak blade set, jalan iron set, 120 frostiron axe, I'll have full frozen at least and hopefully some anc beastbone by 150. Also have haste ring and lvl 100 shop e regen ring. I'll get a e regen brace from Samhain shop and have aggy vit/taunt/axe brace
Thanks in advance for help!
I wanna figure out what a dmg shield hybrid would be like even if it is horrible cause arm it sounds like fun

Hybrid build in general is amazing, never seen a dps shield build however. I would imagine all you need is slightly more strength than normal to compensate for the loss of elemental dmg, advantageous skills with the shield would probably be bash and potentially wall. Soo.. Rupture, shatter, maxed, double and bash 5 above you, then prot stance? It seems like a decent build, if it goes well I might try it out haha.

I ran hybrid shield warrior til 150. Same str vit as usual dps hybrid and used rupture bash wall frenzy double and shatter. Worked great as I used like very little restos to hit that 150

Haha yeah that would help, I've never been one to run sigils and I also have never used frenzy, always enjoyed my survivability apposed to the slight damage of frenzy, even when maxed and rings etc.

Lemme rephrase, for what it's worth at my current level * maybe after a bit if I actually gain motive to level I'd incorporate it

Thanks for the responses so far guys! Super helpful! So my current thought skills wise is something like this skills wise: bash and double 31/35, shatter 29/35 (35 with grand frostiron axe) rupture 35/35, Stance 22/35 pummel at lvl 1 (with anc beastbone gloves) sweeping blow at lvl 1 since shield of the ravager will shine most when being hit by several mobs.
As far as stats, I'm wondering if I can go full vit and just get ate from blade set, shield, and haste ring (adds 330 str total) Mt thought is that this will allow me to go almost full tank just by swapping gear, but I'll almost certainly need lots of taunt rings as well as the vit/taunt brace I have now.
Is 335 str too low to lvl, or is it not horrible? I'm hoping this would let me tank several mobs while lvling without much trouble. I'm also gonna look for a brace that adds str (hopefully rupture/sweeping blow emberdrake brace)

Good idea with being able to quickly swap to a tank in a time of need, and the skills appear to work fine. With sweeping you're truly making the best use of the perk with the shield, I might put a tad bit of str into the build to slightly compensate when you're in direct 1v1's and not being able to use the shields abil too effectively and to boost ur skill dps. Maybe go like 400-450 geared, nothing too major. Other than that, best of luck with the build and make sure to check back with how it goes
