Buy a 15% Int Black Sun Crest. Get a chest with higher ES. Those would be my first two concerns. Then go for ES boots.

Don't forget about Astramentis. Actually you can't go further without this thingy.

So I was following this guide and the leveling guide recommends taking CI and infused shield at level 33 when in fact it seems significantly better to instead of spending the 3 points on taking the infused shield node to go and grab Arcane Focus with the same 3 points. You get 2% more maximum energy shield as well as a less relevant but still nice higher recharge rate. Am I missing something here?

Infused shield gives "more" energy shield instead of "increased", which means it is a multiplier. This is very rare for the passive tree, there is no other energy shield passive node that does this and there are only 4 other nodes (which are even keystones) that have something with "more".

The final character has something around 340% increased energy shield, mostly from intelligence. If you take away the 15% more modifier from that character and try to replace it with x% increase, you'd need roughly 50% in increased modifiers. Even with the lvl 33 char you are already at a point where the multiplier is strictly better.
