I agree that Urobuchi doesn't just use "death" to shock the audience. The fact that the audience was shocked at Mami's death was more because of the genre, but Urobuchi's deaths are not just pointless and do move the story in important ways.
However I wouldn't say that Urobuchi never relies on shock value (although perhaps this is more the director's fault not Urobuchi).
For example some of the violent scenes in Psycho Pass (especially during the riots) were a bit too much for me. I didn't really like how the rape scene was done in the first episode either.
And in Fate Zero the scene with Rin's mom and Kariya I felt was also over the top.
I just felt some of those scenes were a bit much!
