Are damage perks on shields useful?

Shields are not marked with a damage number. Damage done by a shield whether bashing or throwing is minimal, even with Perks such as Elite Damage and Criticals. Shields can have an Element Type like Ice which can freeze an enemy when bashed or thrown. Element types do not appear on shield stats, but can be visually identified by its colorization, as:

Shield with Fire Element

Shield with Ice Element

Shield with no element
