Your reasoning would be sound, if not for the fact that defensive/support roles have little to no use in this damage dominated game.
Depends on how you want to play, really. I enjoy helping other players stay alive/be more powerful. Damage may be king, but if you look at the boons you hand out as part of your own damage output…I wouldn’t mind standing next to him in the zerg.
Sucks that it doesn’t get appreciated though. If you’re in an intense fight you’re not likely to notice you have some extra might or fury except by the fact that you’re still standing at the end.
