I think it's totally fine. (Destiny)
The thing you haven't addressed in your post is the info that in a 6v6 gametype, teams with Defenders are substantially more likely to win than teams without Defenders. Bungie surfaced these stats a while back in one of their weekly updates (sorry, I don't have a link handy at the moment).
Personally, I'm ok with the idea of having a subclass that doesn't compete toe-to-toe with the others, but excels in a true "support" role.
Complete thread:
- So... Is it ok that one class is "meant" to have a bad k/d? -
