I agree with Stev0 to an extend - I do sacrifice myself as an engineer constantly in the interest of doing my job - as do most people. 

I guess when it comes to just plain old conflict on the battlefield (not defusing or repairing, etc) movement and picking your battles makes a huge difference.  

I struggle with being baited into a battle - this is especially a problem on defense - I see an enemy across the map, and I end up chasing that guy down (for better or worse) when I should probably just stay put and defend the position I'm in.    There are so many problems with this - you leave your team hanging by opening up an area you are supposed to be defending, and then you also might die in the pursuit of a kill.     So you're chasing down this guy to try and take him out, and he ends up killing you - so not only are you denied the kill, you are now dead and waiting to respawn.

Does that make sense, or am I just stating the obvious here? 

I guess the point is - pick your battles sometimes, that is one example of smart play that I can provide.
