I personally think it works pretty well in BF3, but I'm sincerely curious as you may have a very good point which I might have missed or haven't considered.

Its bad because you can just spam the spot button and immediately have spotted 5 enemies that you might have otherwise not seen and can just aim for the little triangle and be guaranteed to hit, i normally spot to help my team or scan the horizon for other snipers.
But i think the only spotting we need is a person being able to place 1 marker where he is aiming, it doesn't follow anyone, and if he marks another spot, the previous marker disappears so that you don't get spammed by these things, and it tells your nearby friendlies "I spotted something over here, unknown number of hostiles. Or you want to mark an area of interest for your squad to move to, you can mark the ground. This sounds better than most automatic spotting that follows an enemy.
Add so you can place different colored markers. Tap the button once to place red marker to say enemy, danger, warning etc. Double tap to place blue marker for 'area of interest'. And maybe a triple tap for green marker for 'move here' but thats what a blue could be used for.
Edit: New feature (copied what i wrote below).
