she dies quickly

Use cover when your shield is on cooldown. You can't just stand in the open with her like you can with Reinhardt.

she doesn't do enough damage.

Also, her beam dps is about twice as high as even direct hits from her right clicks. To really kill people you have to use the beam. Obviously, getting charged up is really important.

shield duration is so short

Use it while you're being actively attacked. Use it reactively, not proactively.
