One item of note here from someone who has been trying to shape on the EX/QFX 
for a while... "output firewall filters" won't work.

Shaping only applies to outbound traffic.  However, you cannot (on the EX 
platform, anyway) apply a firewall rule on outbound traffic that will classify 
and then shape that traffic.  I used to have a diagram showing the packet flow 
on the EX and the "firewall" stage was shown AFTER the "shaping" stage.  In 
other words, the output firewall is too late to have any effect on classifying 
packets for shaping.

The firewall filter documentation hints at this:

Note that the firewall points that mention CoS are inbound only.

So you end up having to classify traffic as it arrives on the switch.  With the 
classification done, you set up schedulers on the egress interfaces as Chris 
mentioned earlier.

Sorry if that's old news, but figured this might save someone some pain down 
the line...
