Bella can shield alright, but if you read the book you would know that she cannot be distracted when she is shielding otherwise she loses the shield and leaves every one vulnerable. Also, no one can leave her shield, and her shield cannot move with her/them. Anyone who enters her shield can use their gift within it. The movie is different from the book as Zafrina cannot BLIND, repeat, she cannot BLIND, she can only make people experience somewhat of a hallucination--they can still see her within this hallucination, she isn't invisible--therefore, the same thing goes for her, she cannot be distracted or attacked otherwise her gift is rendered useless. I'm not sure why they didn't have Benjamin use his fire gift in the movie--so yeah, that's a plot hole.
