I included DB in Block description to make a distinction what are triggers and consequences.

In my point of view you are using shield as a helping hand during dodging and parrying. While during Block shield has a possibility to take a full force of a blow. Different ways of using it.

You can use shield during parry and dodge but for cinematic reasons only consequences are:

dodge - slash across the arm, cheek etc
parry - clash of weapons

They do the same thing but it comes from two different sources. When attacker has a upper hand and when defender has an upper hand. I only wanted to extend the definition in case someone has doubts does it work in both ways.

Example 1: Aggressor attacks for 4 MoS. Defender uses DB 2 shield and has Mos 2. Difference is +2 in favor of attacker. But shield has DB 2. Shield is struck

Example 2: Aggressor attacks for 2 MoS. Defender uses DB 2 shield and has Mos 4. Difference is +2 in favor of defender. With shield having DB 2 he needs to put it in a way to intercept the blow. He wasn't able to deflect it. Shield is struck
