One enables the individual player, the other relies on teamwork of the group.

And why would the enemy just sit passively and allow you to stand around and while your shields recover?
This does NOT eliminate teamwork, quiet the opposite.
Squad 1 moves forward, gives and takes fire.
Squad 2 leapfrogs, and continues the assault.
Squad 1 reps and rez.
Squad 1 leapfrogs again while Squad 2 recovers.
Yes this is just a simplistic example. But a valid one.
