The only thing i hate about cover is the roll closer to enemy or some crap spot.
But i saw here that you can fix your keybinding to "Take cover in place". +1 To that guy.
Anyways i think cover should stay.
If you want to use Snipe or Ambush you still have to stand in the place, my point is that might as well use cover if you are standing still.
Sorry if poor grammar and english.
