What makes you think Samurai would be anything other than a DPS cutting down enemies just like in literally every anime ever?
The idea is they are skilled enough to attack a lesser skilled opponent before they had time to react, head on. As you said they "rushed forward" not waited for someone else to turn the enemy away from them. If you can show a link to the anime you mentioned where the the Samurai fought like assassins using two handed Katana and attacked from behind the enemy as a DPS please share. I enjoy Anime with martial arts scenes.
