Why'd you only put the good ones on your list of worst maps? Warlock and Midship are the worst by far, and they're not on your list. Warlock's ok, but you know within the first minute who's going to win. since it's SMG start, whoever wins the first battle and gets all the BRs wins. Midship sucks balls because of the plasma rifle start. And it suffers from the same symptoms as Warlock, but it's even worse. If one team gets the PP/BR combo and the sword, it's pretty much over. If both maps were BR start, they'd be awesome. Of course, the whole game suffers from this problem, but it's most evident in these maps IMO.
Dude, you're thinking way too linearly. This isn't just about Team Slayer. Sure, weapon control can be a -blam!- on these maps for TS... but that's only half (if that) of the story. Midship and Warlock, including Lockout, are the BEST maps for objective gametypes.
Where else would you play CTF Classic/Neutral Bomb/Team Crazy King? Beaver Creek? Gimme a break - now THAT map rocket-whoring, noobcombo-loving PoS map that only requires throwing flags out of the windows/roof.
Besides, what's wrong with plasma rifle? Would you SERIOUSLY rather have SMG start? At least you can shoot and beat down with the PR, instead of wasting 2 clips into a guy without him dying.
