But one thing that annoys the hell out of me in TDM is that 90% of players don't seem to understand how to work as a team.
They just run off alone expecting to win, and then we end up getting massacred.

The next thing_ Look for a heavily damaged mech your friends are already shooting. Nuke it from orbit. Focus fire tactics are awesome because for each enemy off the field, not only does your team get a kill, but for a few seconds that's one less gun pointed at you. Numerical superiority is always preferred.
Next_ Well it depends if you're looking to win or looking for a challenge. If you want to win, look for the other team's lowest scorers. They accomplish both goals you're aiming for: they die easier and are less likely to get a kill on you. They're also more likely to panic and get separated from their team under fire, and more likely to YOLO their way in to fights even experienced pilots might melt in.
Valid strategy_ Absolutely. Strategy is all about deceiving opponents and exploiting their weaknesses. Shooting the weakest players most definitely falls within the latter.
Edit: as a side note, in TDM running away when numerically disadvantaged should occur far more frequently than it does in MA/Siege. This is the other reason I like picking out less skilled targets. Since they die faster, it means I can run sooner.

When I've got a teammate dying constantly that I keep seeing in every firefight, it's incredibly frustrating. They're just handing the other team kills and failing to contribute anything to our kill count. It's basically playing to win for the other team.

In TDM, if you know that you're the weaker player on the team, find one of the better players and stay BEHIND them. Playing wingman to a better player will not only help them by you supporting them, but you can also watch and learn how they play and try to emulate that yourself. That's how I learned to play at the level I do. The most important thing is to watch how they move and learn to help them from behind. Unless you know what you're doing, don't try to lead an engagement.
As for DM, that mode shows no mercy to new guys, and unless you can deal with the possibility of having 9 people hunt you down at the same time, don't play it.
