Well, the problem is that all of those effects are "sometimes" effects - attacks don't always crit, and mezzes aren't always Dominating or Overpowered. Bruising is an "always" effect, and it'd be like making all of a Blaster's attacks thow up a "Defiant" message when they hit - all it does is tell you that a Blaster is attacking that target and annoy people.
My advice for targeting AVs when multiple are out (STF, RSF, Kahn/Cuda etc), is to talk to your teammates. If they're ignoring you talking to them, they'd ignore any grey-lettered messages flying around too.

Bruising is a 'sometimes' effect attached to the tier 1 attack that you are forced to take in your secondary. It lasts 10 seconds past its activation, I don't know however if attacking again re-applies the effect => but it does not stack.|

But, that is what team channel is for. Call out which AV you want attacked and I'm sure your team could manage from there. It would be nice however!

Except it's not a "sometimes" effect. It happens every time you use your tier 1 attack. It's not a 50% chance, or something like that, it's a 100% chance. Attacking again resets the timer, so it never doesn't work.

Yeah, and the Tier 1 attacks all have short recharges, so it's fairly easy to reapply it. My /SS Tanker has the recharge of Jab down below the cast time now, so he can permanently chain-Jab an enemy if he feels like it. "Bruising is forever!"

You can Jab quickly, but there will always be a gap in there.

Sorry if this has been brought up before.
Perhaps I like my life a little too easy, but what would the chances be of getting a 'Bruised' caption, in the vain of the 'Overpower', 'Domination' and 'Scourge' to appear over an enemies head when the debuff has been applied?
I think this could potentially help team select targets when multiple AVs are on screen (yes, I know that's what the team channel is for) and coordinating the application of Bruising when multiple Tankers are on a team.
