I can think of two possible changes of the top of my head that might improve the system (apart from fixing actual bugs of missing icons, etc):
1. We always show the bleed out icon, but with some ammendment or color change if the player actually calls for help.
2. We allow you to configure automatic "call for help" when in bleedout.

What do you think?

Option number 1 is far the best here. Being able to distinguish between a player who wants a revive and is waiting for it, to a player who doesn't want it and is donno talking on the phone or distracted in some case therefore not wanting revived.
Also the player bleeding out gets a timer on how much time he ha left, why can this not be shown to the medic as well ?? Maybe this could be another special thing only the logi suits will be able to see.

Getting to choose between a revive or not
I don't think this is a good idea. You would have numerous of people running to a downed person stabbing him and wondering why nothing is happening. If people don't want a revive give them back the "bleed out" button so they can kill themselves.

Being downed but still able to look around
NO.....
You are in a state of half alive half dead. I don't think you should be able to use this to a tactical advantage to give tactical information. Being able to see it exactly the same way as you did in chromosome would be nice. (this way people can actually also do the famous power slide again

)

To round it up. I would really like a way to call for help at the "killcam" screen, ability to hide the killcam, ability to bleed out at the "killcam screen / bleeding screen" (pressing this sends you directly to spawn screen) and an option to go to the spawn screen but still be in bleeding mode. (aka still being able to be revived)
Revive icon should always be showing but when called for help, icon colour should change or this person should stand out in some way.
Keep the pressing circle to revive option, but also keep the old way of reviving by pulling out injector and using shoot button to revive.
