Booster needs to be on an unlinked account and you get full RAF bonus....
Either that or they changed something since I did it 2 weeks ago

no you don't need booster to be unlinked - I get raf bonus fine with my linked booster
some notes:
rfc is annoying with shield slam - I do only the first half - leave lowbies at entrance - nice from 8-14
get any boot speed enchant it helps A LOT
sfk is awesome - get xp even from the end with lowbies parked at entrance !
The only thing you need for the RAF bonus is:
a) to be linked to another account which is within 4 levels of you; and
b) for both you and the linked account to be 59th or lower; and
c) for the mobs to not be grey for either account.
If you are account B, in this chain (A -- B -- C), and A is level 80, but you and C are both level 20, and facing level 18 mobs, you get RAF.
put 3 points in improved devotion aura, this way you get a +6% healing effect when using ANY aura - so you can then use retribution aura
put 2 points in pursuit of justice so you can run faster
get a few of these shields and wack titansteel spikes on them http://www.wowdb.com/item.aspx?id=25828
Did you chain the accounts? If you're playing a booster on the main, you aren't playing a low level toon on that main account, and the account directly linked to that one shouldn't get bonus xp if all the mobs are trivial to the toon its linked with.
I always did 2 accounts with 2 RAFs, and a totally separate account to boost.
having unlinked booster obviously works too but you don't need to as long as there is someone else in the party for which the linked too can get raf bonus from
I'd go with 2 and put +stam on your boots, you can really notice the difference in speed - I'm not sure that putting 1 in the talent and then having a speed enchant will stack.
edit : just checked - no stacking. Plus you get 50% reduction in disarm.
Top tip I got from a thread here a long time ago: When pulling the instance don't run, strafe instead, this way your shield will block attacks from behind and the mobs will also get struck with the poison spores from the shield . It's the best aoe tanking shield I've seen, this method works well in SM.
