Is PvPing with a board a pipe dream?
Yes.
Can one even sustain the DPS you need for an arena?
No.
I'm pigeonholed into a worthless PvP spec anyway; but can a warrior dream?
Dream away :)
(I've heard tales of 2k shield slams from people stacking block value gear)
You can get even more with proper gear, but it doesn't change the fact that Shield Slam doesn't apply a -50% healing debuff while also critting for 3-5k damage.

Look. I like having my shield. It's like a warm, extremely hard blanket. I like having a snare that works on even druids. I like making a mage pyroblast herself. I like burning through a priest's entire bubble with a slam.

Full time with a shield? Yes its a waste. but that doesnt mean you should toss that baby in the bank when you go PvPing. I use mine a lot (have it on titan bar to switch to sword and board when I go defensive stance). When I am out of range with intercept on CD i go strait to D-stance about half the time (depends who I am facing) (if im rooted ill also use my gun too :P).
your shield is useful for intervene (the one hit you take at least), spell reflect, and shield bash as well
