Some of it is about speed and circumstances.
1. When 6 AS were trying to capture a false dragon, they wanted to shield him. He on the other hand didn't need to try to shield the women. Just kill them faster than they could capture him. Once you kill 2 or 3, then you can shield the other 3.
2. Same goes for Rand. Even when the circle of 13 took him in LOC, he had a few quick moments of warning. Had he lashed out with the power and killed the women standing in front of him he would have easily escaped (specially since the woman in front of him was leading the circle, so killing her would have given him more time). So the element of surprise is essential in the fight.
>>> However, I agree with everything you said about holding a shield and the power it takes to break someone's connection to the OP.

Generally speaking I think you are spot on with this analysis

The Aes Sedai probably should use more finesse....

Indeed ... it makes a sad sort of sense given the last 3000 years!
