My understanding is that inducing shock on your target, decreasing state resists, allows for greater damage per tick on poison and fire. I use it prior to dropping dot's just as a matter of course, though I don't notice a great modification (keep in mind, that the variability is really quite unpredictable as it is). Has this been commented on or absolutely proven in testing?
Smugglers have an ability, Overwhelming Shot, which also is described as reducing state resists. Would overwhelming shot stack with shock for greatest possible state resist debuff?
For that matter, can two combat medics stack shock for increased debuff?

I don't think so
What I'm basing this on is the icons that appear on the players. Overwelming Shot and Shock have seperate icons that both appear on a target. Having two Shocks or Overwhelming Shots doesn't produce two icons and I don't think you can get intimidated twice by two differant pikeman as an example.

Shock doesnt increase the damge per tick, it increases the likelihood of the poison/fire sticking. See the below post:
