You can use more than one shield for the same units, this bring the shielding stronger if I'm not mistaken and my memory serve me right. Also, shields regenerate over time, so just keep rotating those squaddies and keep those with low shields on the back and it will do wonders. Also, you can use shields with the Xcom armor. For the rest, it's normal squaddie tactics management... If you see an alien with a "bazooka" then scatter and don't keep all your men packed up.
With the toxin B, you can kill about anything more than easily. Even those biological tanks. And it goes thru shields. It's harmless for your men and deadly for the Aliens, when I have enough to equip all my squaddies I usually only give them that unless I expect human resistance at the mission landing.
