That should have been the Exotic Perk (Destiny)

Instead of DoT, it should just keep the delay on shield regen. You'd still be weakened and easier to kill for a short period, forcing more situational awareness (and allowimg teammates to pick up the assist), but it wouldn't kill you after you already won the fight.

I actually proposed something similar: keep the DoT, but make it so it only brings you within a single shot from an auto rifle from death. Still better than the vast majority of guns in PvP since it keeps your shields down longer, plus you can sneeze on them and they die. This of course would cause riots.
