DPS is important for bosses, tough enemies and general killing of multiple bad guys (where you chain kill them)

Burst damage is somewhat important important for general killing (it is generally better to kill in 1 hit rather than 3)

Range is important for everything.

Hate has lower DPS, the same Burst and lower Range. If you are willing to give up the DPS and Range because it looks cool, then go with Hate.
