The shunt's not a descending device. It's meant as an ascender and a belay/rappel backup.
One method you may want to consider is tying a figure 8 follow through onto your harness on one end of the rope and using a single rope belay device (grigri or whatnot) on the other side of the rope. This works pretty well if your anchor is made so that friction won't harm it (i.e. rope through a biner/rappel ring or two), but is pretty much a death wish if you put it straight through webbing or other rope.
