I dont know if this is a well known bug and its only me who has just learned about it by dying, but it happened to me twice already and I think its worth sharing. When you collect a shield pylon when awareness has just gone off, the shield does not work correctly. Im not sure if it doesnt block damage at all or just from some sources, but still, you can die in the 'invulnerable bubble'. I even remembered to take a ss as proof! ^^
Yeah, shield pylons seem to be bugged. I'm not sure what exactly does this - it's not just related to Smoke Screen, I've seen all classes die at times when I take it. Also, sometimes Pylons don't trigger Nemesis Bracers. It's really weird... and an annoying bug, which has led us to not take Pylons if we don't need them or if we're not 100% sure we can immediately control the situation. Kinda sad.
Sorry for your loss. I have encountered a bug in softcore where grabbing a pylon immediately after proccing awareness results in the pylon being used without applying any effect to my DH. This has happened to me more than once with multiple pylon types. On a side note I have also noticed that when grabbing shield pylons with nemesis bracers on that the elites frequently get a hit in on me before the shield kicks in.

The pain I felt when finding that conduit in tier 52 / 14:40 and proccing awareness on purpose to get past the monsters blocking me :<
Wow, I just encountered this bug the other day & was going to open a bug report to Blizzard. For me, I was using Wudijo's Lightning build in a Grift & I ran up to the Shield Pylon cause I was being chased by a Reflect Damage pack, thinking it would keep me safe. Instead, even though the Shield went up, I still continued to take damage, & quickly died thereafter. :-( Was really thinking "WTF?" to myself when it happened....
The title may be a bit misleading - I die to dcs at least once every few hours, only play softcore and think hardcore is mainly for masochists, I think knowing about this bug is more crucial for hardcore players though, thats where the title came from Didnt know it happened on other classes though, my main is a wizard and Ive never noticed this bug on her.
