It seems an odd choice to put them in a LESS defensive position, given that they are intentionally being "conservative" as opposed to "reckless".

Assuming you wanted more lethality (in the form of one-hit kills), wouldn't it be fairly easy to say that "excess" successes convert directly to wounds? This allows a similar effect to Ulric's Fury, assuming there is at least one expertise die in the pool. Similarly, you could allow the max fortune points to be "burned" for use like a fate point, if you wanted that effect in the game. Of course, for all I know, both rules already exist... I haven't had a chance to read the official rules, yet.
