I was running some new people through VoG last night. We had both relics and were defending the conflux. Everyone else died, and I used my self-res to get back up and grab the shield once more. Even though our other guy had dropped his shield and we were still about to die, I was able to put down a few ground slams and get the checkpoint right before Expunge killed me again. Saved us at the nick of time from having to start over on gatekeeper. Pretty much the exact opposite of "holding the team back".
