So a whole class just got removed because people were annoyed by it, no matter that it was a kind of rare class to see someone really doing that (except for Bumbo Tones on EU). Yes, it's annoying, but people who use a shield only to block arrows and want to use a dagger with it to be atleast defensively capable of defending themselves without having to switch to their 2hand or polearm so their are vulnerable in those seconds that the animation is running.
It's unfair, just give a penalty to using daggers with shields like you did with throwing.
Also, buff scottish shields (and bring my long awlpike back
)
