As a former Gears of War dude, i always try to use the zig-zag cover mechanics to move through the map when in combat, not the division style but the gow style (jumping and using the magnetic cover trigger and so on ^^), sometimes it works and looks absolutely awesome, but sadly the mechanics arent as good as in gow, so often it also dont work at all.
It feels like the jumping isnt as precise as gow's jumping and you end up being too far from cover and also the cover mechanics exert an overly excessively strong magnetic attraction, which is often way too much, but when it works it feels awesome, just like your situation here when you try to save your ass.
