This page seems to have all sorts of odd ideas.

Increasing the rate of fire increases DPS significantly. If you have trigger control, you do not waste significant amounts of ammo with it; you can treat it like a burst gun on weak stuff. You certainly *can* waste a lot of ammo with this gun if you are holding down the trigger while not aimed at an enemy. This is a BAD gun for use in lag.

Disadvantage is the frozen corpses which make it slightly more challenging to stop shooting a dead enemy, and the corpses get in the way of targets. Here, shred HELPS because you shoot through the corpses at the next guy, "saving" the "wasted" ammo that woud have gone to shatter the corpse.

Slowing the rate of fire LOWERS dps significantly and 2% more chance to crit is not enough to offset that. Why on earth would you DO this?

Rifle ammo drops every other kill or crate. Unless running extended endless missions, or failing utterly at controling your urge to hold the trigger button down, you shoud not need to stress over ammo. I emptied the thing a few times before I got it ranked because it takes longer to kill when you have few damage mods ... but after getting just serration and ice elemental on it that issue cleared up. If you are running endless missions,  the tougher enemy will eventually begin to drain more shots/kill and become an issue. At that point reduced fire rate / status crowd control build over raw dps begins to make sense as part of a team effort --- but at that point you should know what to do without reading the wiki tips :)
