V9 would have given him superspeed, but also messed with his head and caused his health to deteriorate. Having seen what it did to Trajectory, he probably figured that V9 was too volatile to depend on.
From what I remember, when he got his powers back, the city was immediately attacked by Zoom's metas. Barry started dealing with them and at some point during that time, Zoom released Caitlin. Not trying to excuse him, but it's not like he was sitting around doing nothing. Zoom kept him busy.
Don't know if Barry would have done anything differently if Iris was in Caitlin's position. If the situations were exactly the same, I think his options would have been equally limited. Only thing that he might have done different is agree to use the particle accelerator to get his powers back sooner than he did.
