I know of the obvious things such as purchasing another builder or a shield. I know I can boost production of gold and elixir. I know I can use gems in order to make up for a shortage of resources when purchasing upgrades. Is this all the possible things you can do with gems or is there something more?

    You can also speed things up with gems. Buildings, research, hero upgrades, and even troops/spells. Also you can boost unit/spell production and hero healing speeds

There are a bunch of things that gems do for you. Most are related to the reduction of timers or bypassing resource requirements.

  • Buying builders can only be done with gems, which you've already mentioned. There is a max of 5 builders, with each builder costing more gems than the last
  • Buying shields can be done with gems, although you can get them from being attacked as well
  • You can boost unit production at barracks with gems
  • You can boost spell creation at the spell factory with gems
  • You can boost the production rate of collectors (gold, elixir, dark elixir) with gems
  • You can heal your heroes with gems (bypassing the timer)
  • You can make up for a resource shortage when beginning to build/upgrade/research/train something with gems
  • You can also bypass wait times on build/upgrade/research/train processes with gems

As far as gem acquisition and strategy is concerned, I wrote a pretty popular article on the subject, which may be of interest.
