The shield only works with bullets, not rockets. You blew your self up.

Correct.

Nope. Both Rockets and Supers work through the Relic shield:

I would have been melted alive if I weren't entirely inside the Relic Shield for that. And I did it a ton of times. Grenades work, too. After reviewing a few clips, I think the Relic geometry itself has a large collision volume, so if I were standing next to it (like in the first vid), I had a chance to tag it. In this video, though, I'm well in front of the Relic, so I'm not tagging its hit box.

Also get in the habit of not doing that. The relic holder can do much more damage using his super against the boss repeatedly while you have the time's vengeance buff. If you are high enough level that you can do tons of damage, this isn't so important, but at low level or on hard mode this makes a difference.

Now this is a different topic entirely, but sound advice. We'll give this a shot tomorrow. Apparently the Relic holder also has an attack similar to Fists of Havoc that we weren't using, so that's also something for us to try. Our problem wasn't so much damage against Atheon (we'd get him down to half health in 3 cycles, which seems reasonable). Our issue was having an odd person die (like my rocket launcher episodes), which would start a cascade to failure.
