I threw on +damage and +efficiency mods at the expense of duration, and played a Shock build while leveling in T1/T2 endless void. It's enjoyable to play the pure caster, while having utility powers only for escape. However, it was very apparent that the Shock build had no business beyond level 50, as the damage had no power to scale with enemy health.

A real "caster build" that eschews gunplay, as his description claims, needs to have some sort of effect that lets him increase DPS. If his Speed worked on cast speed the same way it worked on melee attack speed, that might work out since it preserves the damage per energy spent.

As an aside, when you try to cast Shock too frequently, it "jams". This prevents Natural Talent from being worth it on Volt, at least for the caster build.
