Explain to me why I would ever want to use something other than a scout. Because you can and you're smart enough to make it work. It's like asking "why would I ever want to drink anything besides water?". Because you can. Do you need to? No? But you can to get a different experience. It's the reason we have more than one suit in this game.
But all the other choices aren't as healthy for you as the water. I've been many things; a commando, a logi, an assault. I've primarily been a sentinel untill I decided to try out scouts. I'm not exaggerating when I say I find it much easier to be a scout then a sentinel. All that HP won't help you if you can't see the attacker comming, infact the slowed speed makes you an easier target. I've tried many roles, none of witch are as effective as the scout. As a scout, I've delt with scouts better than I could with my HMG heavy, and i'm not even using a shotgun.

Not all suits can be played the same and if you know how to play one suit you don't necessarily know how to play most of them. The Sentinel requires more than brute force to operate. You must be able to predict everything around you: anticipation is the name of the game. You know you're slow so you must always calculate in advance all the paths you will take to always try to give yourself an advantage.
You think I didn't already do this? I always keep a vigilant eye out just for scouts. I see when cloaked scouts come at me, and I'm always checking my back. Sentinel or scout, or even something ells, I'm always keeping an eye out for scouts, It's just easier to deal with scouts as a scout, maybe because I'm a harder target to hit. Plus unlike being a sentinel, i always know when someone (who isn't a scout) is coming.

Did you ever use cardiac regulators on your Sentinel suit, kinetic catalyzers, shield regulators or energizers? Not all your mods on your Sentinel should be adding HP to you. That is the quickest way to make yourself inflexible. Giving yourself a plethora of complementary resources shall manifest itself on the battlefield as the ability to counter many threats at a moments notice.
It's really ill recommended to use kinetic catalyzers. A sentinel is point defense, meaning you guard your post against anyone who comes. While I can do this easily, the scout is able to do it just as well, just add remote explosives and your good. When you run out, everyone dies within a couple of shotgun shots anyway. You also need to keep in mind that just one dropsuit shouldn't be able to deal with every situation like some kind of omni tool, yet the scout dropsuit can adapt to any situation just fine, didn't it say in the assault dropsuits' description that it should be able to adapt to changing situations? It can, but not as well as a scout.
