Its definitely a passive skill. The best way to test this, is to reset your points. Then go to your cleric in the Stash menu and look at his stats. Then go back to Skills page, add your points (including the holy shield talent.) Then go back to the stash page and look at the cleric and see if the defense of your cleric went up.
