The Three Dragons helmet and the Shaper of the Storm ascension talent

When using The Three Dragons helmet with the Shaper of the Storm (Stormweaver) ascension talent, no shock from hits is applied. At the same time, checks without the helmet and lightning damage sources will inflict shock (although the chance of shock is quite low, but that's a question of the base chance of shock). However, when using this helmet, the Shaper of the Storm ascension talent simply stops working, despite the fact that regardless of the type of damage dealt, there should still be a chance to shock, as stated in the talent itself.

UPD: When using Shaper of Winter and this helmet the same problem is observed, the cooldown does not apply to enemies.

That's by design. Three Dragons helmet forbids your lightning damage to shock. It overrides the effect from Shaper of Storms. But you can shock with any other damage type (physical, fire, cold, chaos).
I don't think that's right. The very description of Shaper of the Storm hints that regardless of having this helmet, the character should still apply shock, even if it does lightning damage. The ascension talent should have higher priority than the helmet, shouldn't it? It just doesn't make sense. I'd still agree with it if it said on the helmet that: “Your lightning damage can't apply Shock”, but the helmet doesn't forbid you from applying shock, it changes the state that applies lightning damage, so Shaper of the Storm should return, or rather add the ability to apply shock as well. And if that's really the intention, I think GGG needs to change the item/talent description.
