The way I see it, it's not bad when you have to (and also can) spam debilitate but can get away without a defensive perk instead. If you use debilitate every 18 attacks, that's 2.5% more damage which is comparable to say, biting 2 or something. That's probably not the best perk there is as a dps, but if you tank and say 50% of your abilities are defensives (and don't do damage), your dps will increase by twice as much (5%).
Not sure if that theory is correct but yeah. I personally don't use shield bashing.
