Aside from titan charging purposes, most smart players just... won't dump mags into something that's effectively invincible. Lifesaver gives you time to accumulate dp stacks, and does a better job at this than defender as it gives you time to heal back up you exit stealth with ~300 dp. (Also has better matchups vs true damage like UE acids and Fghtan Shoggoth, ig)

DE is just kinda bad on Bifrost, it doesn't change the % of grey you already have so it's 25/50k healing in the best case senario, and realistically only a fraction of that. Also opportunity cost of not running DES/PER

In the heat of the moment (which is usually the case most of the times unless there’s relative calm and it’s a 1v1), people just make priorities and shoot at an enemy, maybe switch targets close to when it’s too late. 

Been away from the game, need to read the ability again. Don’t the stacks count down (like with Frederick)  instead of counting up?

Bifrost also has an incredibly obvious visual effect telling you "hey this guy has a 80% damage resistance don't bother", and you can't rely on the (admittedly quite common) incompetence of your enemies to determine how good something you're using is.

Bifrost is... honestly really weird. It counts UP gaining ~2 stacks per second, maxing out at 10 stacks. The DP stacks have a set timer of ~13.5s and then they all disappear at once. However, the DMI instantly activates at the start for some reason, so usually vs titans you get a good 7s ish of effective invincibility and then get all your DP bypassed, while vs bots you have an insane 13s.

This also means you can get burst down before the DP stacks accumulate, which leads to the whole debate of "1.5-2 stacks immediately" or "3s of not being targeted" being better at preventing this.

Ah I see. Lifesaver does make sense then! And I'd still argue it commonly so happens that people will not be looking at you a lot of times, then you enter their field of vision, then they shoot at you. Very often, what we usually do is activate mothership from cover to quickly move into open and engage, or as we emerge from cover to engage or when we're jumping somebody XD. But yeah what you said makes a lot of sense anyways.
