C'mon, if there's a groupfight (say 5v5), someone will be able to thrust away to 2k and then cruise; that's if he didn't cruise out immediately because CMs work amazingly well against CDs. That's another downside actually, it encourages restocking.
And the reason we're only talking about snubs is because apart from them there's only cruisers and gunboats from combat classes. Bot sharing on those is different because it highly depends on positioning, if someone's heavily out of position (by far the most common way someone dies in a cap fight) you won't share him either way because it's a waste of regens - it doesn't matter if he died in 15 or 30 seconds. It wouldn't be a problem on caps, but it would be a problem on snubs.
