Then you and I have had different experiences in wins, then.

That is, 10 points favoring opposing team(s) pr head. Besides, the dps have to waste time respawning while not helping the team. In that regard you may have to deal more than 1/5 of total ice HP to make the suicide-rush worth it.
This has nothing to do with focusing ice being a bad tactic, and more with players being dumb and not moving as a group.
