The trap bar has peaked my interest. I like using it for my shrugs and sometimes deadlifts. BUT, I want to know if the trap bar deadlift is just as good as barbell deadlifts? And are trap bar shrugs as good as dumb bell or smith machine shrugs?

Trap bar deadlifts are not barbell deadlifts. They are different, one is not necessarily better. The shrugs however, aren't all that different.
Look under your chair. YOU GET A REP, AND YOU GET A REP, REPS FOR EVERYONE! If I get a rep, you get a rep, every time. Give me a link to make my life a little easier.
If you don't give me a link and you didn't post in the thread you rep'd me in, I'm not gonna go searching for you. I'll get everyone on recharge.

More akin to a squat than deadlift.

Trap Bar Deadlifts shift the emphasis from your Posterior chain to your legs, making it a more squat-like exercise.
