Update: I was wrong. The blocking is not slower in PvP. It is *always* slower than the values JG gives. For example: a mage without fast block cannot block a single lava maw's melee attack. Any explanations for this? Am I just missing something?

It's been a long, long time since I worried about this kind of thing, but I believe the blocking time is double the value in Jarulf's Guide for all cases. I don't recall why that would be. Perhaps the game uses x frames to raise shield, and plays them in reverse to lower, rather than having a full animation?
