Good. A commander should feel that way after losing someone.

Honestly I think you got the better experience. It was a mistake from Bioware to make it possible for everyone to survive in the first place. I would have made at least one point (probably when sending someone into the vents) where you and your entire team knew it was a one-way trip, so that whoever you gave the order to had to accept their own death but carry out your orders regardless.
