Title says it all. Seriously can't do a simple check for connected or not connected when evaluating if all players are dead?

If (player.dead || player.disconnected) {
	dead++;
}

With 30 minute rounds this is quite an issue.

Yep, if the last remaining mech on a team is disconnected the game should end.

He's had the whole match to try and re-connect, and if he hasn't done so by the time the rest of the team is dead... well tough. No one wants to go on a DC hunt

1. Who says that the last DC player was DCed the whole match?
2. There is a reconnect "feature", so giving an auto loss to someone who can reconnect is not an option.
3. The OP mentioned a 30 minute match. This means it is a CW game and there is only 1 place on each map where the last remaiing player CAN be... so no need to hunt the last AFK player .

What happens if you disconnect after your mech dies in cw? Does the next one actually spawn?

yes they do.

While I don't think an instant win is right if someone is DC'd, starting a 30 second countdown to win might be a fair solution. Player reconnects, countdown stops and match continues.
