At time mark 0:45 of the video I posted above, you can see that I was "shielded" during the Shield Slam animation when the Living Armor counterattacked me.

I didn't sustain any damage and you can hear the "block" sound when it should have hit me.

So apparently, you're protected during the skill animation, just as you are with Sheltered Assault.
