Blocking that spawn on that device might not be a bad idea but objective waves seem to override proximity spawning mechanics at times as well. That device always seems to come up third or last for me.
I've had a wipe on that device vs Cerb when it was #3 and the team used all 24 rockets to attempt to clear the area long enough to do the device, but the enemy simply respawned right in the valley every time.
Devices - there is atleast one spot on every map where devices can ruin the game. Giant is probably the only exception I can think of. Jade, in particular is notorious for this.

In the corner on the other side of the wall next to the LZ and 2 more locations on the lower level (down the ramps) are a nail-biter if you are soloing and the big long-range enemies decide to be f#cking campers. Also, on Jade you get at least one crappy location (most often in the middle of the lower level) and on Hydra you get at least two and often three bad locations. We got trolled today at our 10WS Triune challenge on Hydra/Geth/Plat. Wave 10 devices, haha, very funny....
On a solo this an easy one: devices regardless of the map. I get the enemies that love to spawn on top of the objective and refuse to respond to kiting other than the occasionally dumb basic trooper that sticks his head up just enough to get headshotted to make room for another one; when this doesn't happen a convenient grenade or air humper will get me with 1/2 a second left resulting in the whole goddamn process having to start again (if there was some drain while off I would say fair but a complete restart, in my opinion, is cheap/artificial difficulty) If devices come up on wave 10 of hydra or jade and I'm soloing, I don't even bother to try once the aforementioned bs ones come up.
With a team: as has also been stated it depends on the PUGs. I've seen the hardest devices get finished in almost no time with some teams only to the have the next ones somehow almost manage to fail the walk up the hallway escort on hydra when the enemy spawned in back corner they come from on extraction.
Maybe I'm a cheap cheating mother fucker but I'll let you guys in on a little secret as soon as I hear last enemy on wave two, five or nine I head for the location of the worst possible hack on that map if I'm the host and glitch it as soon as it drops if I'm playing with pugs. It's kind of like hitting nade boxes while teammates get one or two more kills at the end of the wave, just a better use of my time. It's one of my super secret dick tactics.
The device location next to where the center hack is on London is also utter crap. LZ hacks on Jade and Rio are also garbage. Most of the hacks on Condor.
