The only people I ever have use a sword and shield are my clerics or druids. My paladins must wield a huge two-handed sword. It just seems right. My thieves go with single weapon, so I can have my bow available at all times. Fighters and rangers both dual wield. At the higher levels when your throwing out 5/2 and 7/2 attacks per round, they add up pretty quick.
I think the benefits of the extra attacks, compensates for the lower armor class gained by wielding a shield.
