An elemental damage shield would reduce incoming elemental damage. Similar to manifest force. This is primarily aimed at reducing spell damage as spells tend to do elemental damage - but some critters and someday enchanted weapons would count too. It is less of a self-rezz, and more of a final sacrificial attack. It does not heal your wounds beyond that which is needed to prevent you from immediately dying again. So you take damage that would normally kill you, immediatly stand back up with minimum health and then make a strong attack against engaged with you. You might very well die again after taking one or two more enemies with you, though it would only technically count as a single death. Having a way to suicide into the enemy and take as many out as possible as you go was always one of those epic abilities that comes to mind while looking at barbarian-themed items and in-game imagery of the warrior outnumbered and surrounded by slavering monster hordes.
