It's not the range that dictates astral shield before astral weapon. If you're still casting spells, you're not using the astral weapon until done casting. Astral shield first means that things attacking you already have a chance to be paralyzed.

Of course, if you're getting anything out of Astral Shield, it means you've been attacked in hand to hand, and therefore have a 50% chance of being forced to respond in turn. With high attack skill, and against small Groups of high-MR opponents, Astral Weapon can be more than twice as effective as Astral Shield.
Therefore, putting Astral Weapon first in the queue is not ALWAYS unwise, just nearly always.
Straying off course is fun!
