I'm guessing you haven't played Volt yet then. Volt is by no means a frame that needs to be carried by others.

First, Shock is not meant for pure offensive use. It's a instant, un-interrupting, and cheap CC ability that stuns multiple enemies for a few precious moments. Sure it's spammable, but it's not meant to deal heavy damage to enemies, just get Volt out of a sticky situation.

Second, even though Volt can easily burn through his energy pool he is still one of the more efficient frames out there. He isn't in dire need of better a energy economy. That is especially the case with Volt Prime, which has the highest energy pool of any frame (alongside Saryn Prime).

Third, Volt's Electric Shield's are the best shield in the game. Unlike Frost's Snow Globe, Electric Shield is completely immune to damage, meaning at higher levels an Electric Shield will far out last a Snow Globe. Also, the Static Shields are 6m x 4.5m, which is plenty of room four a squad of four to take advantage of. You should also note Electric Shields block AoE damage, including the AoE from Bombard Rockets.
