well, so I mostly designed for PvE encounters. I hate getting a Hive Wizards shields down only for it to go back up after it hides in the corner. I don't mean Short Circuit to last an insane amount of time, just like, longer than a short amount of time. Players inflicted with Short Circuit could still regen health via Red Death, or Transfusion, or whatever. So, I'd probably say like 6 seconds, or 8 since it is a melee attack which requires high risk.
