The Bulwark doesn't seem to be widespread enough for this to become a common strategy yet, but in the new Bulwark vs Falcon skirmish I've seen the smarter Bulwark players working together to drastically increase their survivability.

The idea is basically: one Bulwark turns off his shield and a second leaves it on. Unshielded guy huddles inside shielded guy's radius and lets his shield soak up all the damage directed at either of them. When his buddy's shield runs out (easier to spot than on other shielded bots what with the big yellow orb), he activates his own aegis to protect the both of them while his buddy starts regenerating. As long as they stay close together and are quick on the shield button, each Bulwark essentially gets a double capacity aegis. It's easy enough for an enemy to drain one shield, but chewing through two back to back is a lot harder without running out of ammo and becoming vulnerable.

Granted, this does require even more ability micromanagement than regular Bulwark play, but its works pretty well for defending beacons and in team deathmatch.
