At level 10, if you can not get one hit in for ONE point before the damage
shield kills the mobs, you might want to stop trying to kill the dark reds
and stick with black and yellow cons. Damage shields is one of the better
tools for power leveling.

level
I am not too crazy about using damage shields on very low level
players to
help them power-level, because the newbie mobs often kill themselves
on the
damage shields before you can even get in one damage point. When
soloing,
you have to inflict at least one damage on a mob to get exp. for
killing it.
I know I always hated it when a well-meaning druid would cast Shield
of
Spikes or whatever on my newbie characters. Gray wolf, orc pawn,
fire
beetle, bat, goblin whelp etc. -- attack, bingo dead time after time
without
me getting exp for it.
Skin and regen is much more helpful, as well as standing by and
healing at
need.
My opinion only =)
