So sometimes when I'm 55ing my Shielding Hands works fine, negating all damage so I never lose health. But sometimes, it just stops working - The spell is still on, but I just start taking damage and die.
What makes it only sometimes do this?
55Mo and Shielding Hands not working (sometimes?)

It might be that you're refreshing certain enchantments (i.e, Prot Spirit) which is reordering the order in which they take effect. Wiki says this though:

Note that, casting Protective Spirit first, then Shielding Hands, then renewing Protective Spirit before either enchantments expire, will still result in 0 damage.

Recasting prot spirit should not reorder the damage reduction from Shielding hands (I've tried this myself many times). So, the most likely explanation is that you're dying from something else. It could be life-steal or you could be forgetting to keep prot spirit on you. Also, I suppose lag could be responsible.

Are u sure u're not talkign about Shield of Absorption?? Shielding Hands should reduce dmg by 3...15...18! So if u already have Prot Spirit u should be anyway taking 5 dmg max plus using Shielding Hands should give a reduction of 19 (assuming u have 16 at prot prayers).
Never had such problem....

Back to the OP's question: I find that sometimes when farming with a 55 or 330 (or even a 600) I seem to just die for no reason that I see. My only conclusion is that either lag caused skills to not go off they way I thought they were or I just missed something like renewing prot spirit. Doesn't mean what you're experiencing isn't a bug, but until we know more (about where you're farming, what foes, etc.) or see a video of what's happening its hard to say more.
