There are items in Diablo 3 other than a shield that give +% block chance such as Helm of Command. Does the bonus apply when you don't have a shield equipped?

As of the 1.04 patch on 8/21/2012, each party member gets their own magic find and gold find value applied to the items that drop for them.
Prior to 1.04, magic find in a party was averaged between party members. So if you had a 4 person party, one had 40%, one had 20%, and the other two had none, everyone would have an effective magic find of 15% for their own drops.
The same thing applies to gold find bonuses and bonuses to XP.
For single player with a follower, you get your own value, plus 20% of the bonuses on your follower's gear.
You cannot gain set bonuses for wearing 2 of the same set item because you would be unable to equip them. Set items are unique equipped as shown in the picture. You are unable to equip two of the same one.

Yes. I just tried it. With shield 28%, without shield and with Helm of Command 8%. Also tried to block without a shield but with Helm of Command. I blocked attacks.
EDIT: BUT you have no block amount, so if you block, you block nothing.
