The Sniper class is actually the best class for a squad leader to be as long as he knows how to use his Caps Lock key to issue orders. This way he can support his squad from a distance and they always have a spawn point just out of reach of the enemy.
The thing is though, you have to be a support sniper, not a noob lone wolf sniper. Support snipers get into the battle from just outside the fight and actually help out whereas lone wolf snipers sit on a roof somewhere off in the corner of the map the whole game and just pick their ass. You can't effectively lead a squad when you're sitting up on the TV station on Sharqi Peninsula.
I was leading a squad on Sharqi Peninsula the other day and we were kicking ass! I'd sit about 100m off from the flag just out of the way and I'd give them an order to cap a flag. They'd just keep spawning on me as they died. If a guy spawned in behind them where they probably didn't see him, I'd pop him in the head to keep my squad alive a little longer. My squad just kept coming in waves onto that flag until we finally capped it. Then I'd issue a new order, go find myself a new spot just out of range and do it all over.
