I don't think I agree. Dex Sybaris is hilariously powerful for an assault rifle, especially if you have a good riven, but other assault rifles and other guns in general have way higher kills per minute and/or damage. The good shotguns don't even compare, they outclass everything else. The Soma/Akstiletto prime/ Twin Grakatas are all good against high level heavies if built for it and while they won't shot a level 100 heavy gunner like Dex Sybaris will theyll still bring it down relatively quick and also kill more mobs more quickly (even something only OK like the Supra Vandal will get way more kills per minute even in high level missions, just bring a secondary or use a frame that can deal with the heavies more efficently,) good launchers are still crazy as long as you can avoid/tank the self damage.

I hope you get the idea. It is my favorite weapon, and it's arguably the best burst fire weapon (it's only real competition is the Hema) but bursf fire weapons in general have some fundamental limitations to their effectiveness in a game that has so many enemies on screen at once. IMO they're basically splitting the difference between a sniper (which are generally useless) and an assault rifle, and I can only recommend using one if you also have a secondary or a frame power that is good for crowds (in which case that's what you'll probably use for most of your damage.)
