Come back in a month when we've figured it out...too many factors to take into consideration, my mind is already frying after one day of playing Equinox. Its just one of those strange frames where the kit is just odd and not solo oriented.

In the day form, you can boost the team's power strength while draining your power with each cast, increase the damage a target will take but also buffing their stats, and charge up your ultimate to mass nuke all enemies in range. When I got to around level 90 enemy wise, all I would need to do was charge up 50k on the ultimate despite having 40% power strength, and I could wipe out all enemies in a single blast...but, my weapons fell off because I wasn't prepared, so I had to rely on my partner to charge me up.

In the night form, you can stun small clusters of enemies and they will be knocked down when damaged, reduce enemy damage in range that drains x energy per enemy per second, and then there is the night form ultimate which is really, really underwhelming as all it does is heal health alone. Its getting to the point that I stay in day form only, as the night form abilities just aren't up to par in a team setting.

Then there is metamorphisis, which I would use this more often now that I run +50% power strength and increased duration; but, the transformation time just kills the ability for me as it can't be reduced by Natural Talent. I honestly want to switch between the two more often, but its a total of a 4 second downtime with no abilities to use just to refresh the day form buff.

Overall, Equinox is just in a really bad spot. The day form is a offensive support that can't function without a proper team, while the night form literally brings nothing to the table and has energy issues. Maybe with a few buffs or the introduction of augment mods, Equinox might be worth playing; otherwise, the only reason I can think of for playing Equinox is just to have fun with the oddity of the skillset.
