I called that spending an attack and gaining a superiority die "scanning for openings". I agree it is a good benefit for the battlemaster at root. There is more to the problem than infrequency. The best you do is still sidekick calibur single target benefits. Benefiting the whole team is warlord meat and drink. It is why people discuss higher level maneuvers.The Battlemaster isn't a Warlord, but it does has all the right pieces to be one. I can turn the 5e Battlemaster into a warlord by adding one sentence to the PHB.
At the end of the section for combat superiority add the following.
When you take the attack action you make one or more fewer attacks, and in exchange for each attack lost, you may gain a superiority die, lasting until the start of your next turn.
