If Superman uses heat vision at super speed it could spell trouble for Thor, even if he did have the lightning shield.I think this is why I have a problem with characters with super speed, if they're able to move that fast, why wouldn't they move that fast all the time? It takes no more effort to do so - from visuals anyway, no one's huffing and puffing after super speed.
Why would heat vision spell trouble for Thor?

If you read my previous reply, I mentioned that everytime Superman used his heat vision he had to stop in flight, square up and fire. There seems to be a preparatory period before he discharges it. The most movement you get out of him is one or two scenes where he's slowly walking as he heat visions.
He can't seem to just spam it on a whim even in regular speeds so there's no reason to believe he can do so at superspeed.

While not at super speed, Superman did fly at Doomsday and start using heat vision, so the 'charging up' period was done when he was flying forward. He did eventually stop forward motion though.

I remember him hovering while blasting with heat vision, not actually moving in flight.
Heat vision isn't something that can be spammed. In some scenes, it even looks like there is painful feedback from the attack, or at least irritation. Directing so much solar energy to an area as vulnerable as the eyes would logically be a strain..
Not that it would even singe Thor's eyebrows after IW.
