I am having trouble with uruks especially captains with iron shield. I've tried to wraith flash and jump over it but it doesn't work, so I've to roll like crazy just to hit him but it gets difficult when uruks zerg me. Is there any other way to guard-break this uruk?

If an enemy is feared, their strengths will be lessened or negated.
In the case of Orthog, blowing up two nearby campfires when a feast event came up panicked him, and I could damage him with melee attacks in that state.
Pictures for those who want to relish in victory:
Using Detonate, the tier 1 ability that make the fires and barrels blow up can get you 10+ kills in one shot.
Also, using the elf ranger shots to do headshots on enemies. Once you're out of shots (depending on how much you have), just make sure there are some arrows nearby and quickly grab them before continuing the carnage.

For most Uruks, you can just vault over. But there are some Uruks (especially Warchiefs) that have a strength that makes it impossible for you to vault over. What you can try then, is use your Wraith Stun (E) on them. This incapacitates them for a little while, enough time to vault over them, or use Wraith Flurry to do some damage.
If that doesn't work, you have your combat finishers. Once you get to the number of combo points you need for a finisher, just use it on the Uruk in question. When it's done, you can use normal attacks to hit him even more.
You can also try to use ranged attacks, if the Uruk in question is not immune to ranged attacks. Use one or two arrows, and continue with your sword.
If there is a Caragor at your disposal, you can also just use mounted attacks against the Uruk in question.
I hope these tips help. Enjoy!
