First of all, the descript says that Blessing restores shields, but if you cast it in game that is not what happens. So no it does not. Second, even if it did restore shields, healing is not a huge part of this game. Warframe (Higher level content, not just leveling frames) is more about crowd management and killing things quickly enough that you aren't overwhelmed. Especially defense missions.

WoL might be able to theoretically last long enough to heal you to full, but that isn't useful when you rarely take hp damage. And even then you can't really heal your allies with it because it will probably be dead before the ally needing health sees the glow. And that is making the poor assumption they are smart enough to look for it in the first place, which never happens. Honestly you would be better off re-polarizing the slot and using a different mod.

Think of trinity as a direct healing version of Frost. Frost is a tank. Frost creates bubbles that stop bullets and slow enemies inside. This, while technically not healing, prevents a great deal of damage. Not just to the caster, but to the entire group. Frost, from a healing perspective, is superior to Trinity despite not directly healing because it stops people from taking damage in the first place. Blessing stops damage, but only for one third of the time at the same energy cost, making it impractical to spam. Similar comparisons can be made to Nyx, Vauban, etc crowd control.

My entire point is that Trinity's healing abilities alone are not strong enough to equal other strong frame's usefulness. I am not saying that Trin's healing abils don't have their uses, but rather that in comparison they are not strong enough without link. Trinity is not a "healing" frame, but rather a "support" frame. Link allows Trinity to not only somewhat tank, but do some damage as well. The frame is well rounded with high damage reduct, low damage added, low self healing, moderate energy restore, consistent & high energy costs, and an ultimate that can save the group in an emergency.

"As for energy cost - if you do not equip your warframe, why complain?" This sentence makes absolutely no sense. I have to assume english is your second or third language.
