Her problems are way bigger than her Cocoon. She is basically the only fighter-type champion (could say assassin, but too much DoT, and no reliable escape tool) who has no real defensive mechanism for frontline battles, just an evade for solo-esque maneuvers. If she were to improve, she'd either need:

1. an actual defensive tool to soak damage in the frontlines, or

2. to actually have a reliable escape from Rappel (target allies, or even ground), plus more base damage on her burst, and fully go the assassin route.

Given her high amount of single-target focus, I'd say #2 would be the easier of the two.
