The fight with Yammi destroyed all of her shun shun rika spirits. At best her shield protected her and Chad because Yammi found it so peculiar rather than having any actual defensive capabilities. She was able to heal Chad because Yammi and Ulquiora let her do so. If anything, her fights have proven that her offensive capabilities are near non-existant and her defensive capabilities are limited to deflecting weak attacks and debris.
It's pretty apparent that she's the type who will always stick up for her friends, but not for herself. Like is said, she doesn't have the ego or self-pride to bite back at every little insult.
How is Orihime, with so little power, supposed to contribute when Ichigo is fighting? She would only be a hindrance to him and she's fully aware of it. Orihime, on the same battle field as Ichigo, would be his biggest weakness rather than a benefit. At best she can heal the wounded and shield them from falling debris. If I remember correctly, Ichigo took Grimmjow's cero because the later aimed at Orihime and Nel behind Ichigo. That was just from being in the vicinity. If she tried to help, Ichigo would spend more time taking hits for her than fighting.
