Currently Turtle Shell feels quite underwhelming in my opinion. Before the parry changes, turtle shell had a niche use on parry characters because their back was their only 'unprotected' area since parries could trigger from side facing attacks. Now they they only trigger from the front, turtle shell will often just not provide any use for you since people are already avoiding attacking you from the front if they know you have a parry and it's very easy to see a sudden surge in crit evade if they try attacking you from the back.
I think turtle shell could provide half of its rear bonus to sides, similar to how it functioned before its nerf, just without it affecting the front this time.
