How are you supposed to play Brigg? Seems if I get close enough for melee or even whip shot I just get melted. Play back and just throw armor packs?

Move in with your team instead of walking in alone.
My best advice would be:
Bam, bam, bam
boom
bam bam
mega bam
woosh bam
bam bam bam
dead
victory

Primarily you want to use shield bash for evasion purposes unless you are going after a player in which you are confident that you can take out with your shield bash whip and melee combos. For example you said you’re getting melted when you’re doing whip shots or any type of hit, unless you’re going to commit to killing the player then you’re only going to whip shot or get a couple hits in before you shield bash the hell out of there.
Also when it comes to players who are close range you have to have an engagement and disengagement strategy. While melee/close range players don’t have to generally worry about aim much, and long range players do. The skill ceiling generally flips because long range players don’t really have to worry about engagement disengagement whereas close range and melee players do.
I would suggest playing some games in which you focus on certain aspects so that afterwards you could put it all together. For example play some games where you’re strictly trying to do as much damage as possible, then play some games we are strictly trying to do as much healing as possible, and play some games where you’re strictly trying to stay alive and evade as much as possible. Once you push all these aspects to the extremes you learn the extreme of each aspect and you could put it together in whatever mesh you figure out.

The problem people have with Brig is she looks like a small Rein but she is absolutely not anything like a tank. If you front line you die. Think of her more like a personal tank for your other support. You are there to add healing for your team and keep your buddy safe from dives.
Yeah she has a shield but like all shields its an easy target so quick to break. She also has a large hitbox compared to supports in general so again easy target. Characters like Reaper and Hanzo can destroy you quickly.
