The biggest issue with the adept and the biggest issue with protoss in general is warp in. If the adepts couldn't be insta reinforced this wouldn't be an issue.

I haven't seen any one suggest this yet, but what if the shades were target-able? They can work similarly in mechanics as hallucinations (with low attack/target priority) and killing the shades cancels the teleport. This would stop the adepts from just walking the shades into mineral lines. The player would have to micro the shades to be close but not too close. Furthermore it rewards the defender's micro and focus fire. Lastly, timing the shades so that it IS possible to walk into the mineral line becomes more important as well.
A new micro strategy that might develop from such a change is to shade not all at once but shade in 2-3 adepts in first, then shade the rest in. since the shade doesn't collide with units, you can't use them to meatshield; but the adepts draws aggro so the other shades can survive.
