Obviously, if I call it 'Poison Dart Affliction' I could see where it would be, but is that just a special effect?

Depending on the nature of the game and so forth, I would probably have Missile Shield stop any Affliction that doesn't have Area Effect, Cone, Malediction, Rapid Fire, etc.
In other words it's by default a simple ranged attack of some kind, and Missile Shield applies pretty widely to ranged attacks, even including things like Lightning bolts.
