As I do really like those suggestions you propose, I do not agree with bull charge. It's the only thing what makes us a good point defender, when we can knock off some pesky gwf from a point to buy us more points. Other then that, I agree on everything you said.
Your problem is your video card. I suggest you use sliders to adjust your video settings in-game. Sliding the graphics to lowest and your render-scale to max has given me best framerate results. I am sorry about your video card, It's the worst one out there. Hope I helped you a bit though, it sure did for me
