For some reason, I feel like punishing the players for doing too well wouldn't go over too well.

It depends on how you look at it. If it works out that you'd survive because you're still attacking like a maniac but you're not bothering with anything resembling a rotation or pushing your DPS, then yes, it is punishing you for doing well. If it works out that doing the stupid thing poorly gets you killed all the same, and really winning comes down to strategy, it should be better.
