Should be an excellent trio for you.  My brother has a 70 Dirge and as a duo the two of us can do quite bit.  We can duo places like Achadecism and the Nest.  If you add in a warden there's not much you can't do except the tougher zones like Unrest or Nizara.  The main advice I'd give you is, keep your gear as up to date as possible.  The better your gear the easier time you'll have.  As for when to start using sword+shield I'd say go straight down the Stamina AA line first (1h+buckler) then fill out one of your other lines, then switch over to your EoF AAs.  Buckler+1-hander is much better DPS then a two hander and alot more suvivability.
