ISK efficiency strikes me as more important to immortal mercenaries than KDR. If it can't be added as an EoM metric then add it to the character sheet stats.

In the Dust I picture in my mind, total ISK destroyed in a match would be displayed on the EoM as well as the total ISK you lost on fittings and vehicles. This would be proudly displayed front and center with plenty of data on exactly what you destroyed and who you cost the most ISK as well as who cut the most out of your profits.
Below that data would be WP totals for Kills, Assists, Vehicle Damage, Triage, Team Resupply, Etc.
Tucked away in a corner there would be a KDR read-out with minimal fanfare.

One day I hope to present my KDR to the Gods of gaming that are THIRDROCK in the hopes that I too can be considered pro MLG, 360 no scope, no items, final destination, diamond tier...
In my corp the running joke is some players probably swagger up to women, "Hey sweetie, I have a 9.0 KDR in a F2P first-person shooter called DUST 514..."

... the sniper rifle is your *****. That's the joke.

That's the reason I think it's important. I believe Pad is trying to point out that many matches are already decided before you ever put your boots on the ground due to fickle matchmaking gods. There have been times when I am placed in a match with the enemy MCC is at nearly 100% shields and ours is at 50% armor. I will be given a defeat when I had very little, if any, influence on that battle.
You dig?
