This is based completely on using charged attacks only.

DHS out dps's DE every time. DHS has 50 extra dmg and is almost a half a second slower. While the speed is nice, remember that the extra damage mods add a percentage of damage based on the base attack. That being said a damage mod like killing blow adds a percent extra damage based off the base damage of the wep, so does the elemental mods, and the plain melee damage mod. So one that adds 50% more charge damage is going to add more damage to DHS than it would to DE. So yes 50 more charge damage isn't a big deal when unranked but as those mods get more and more powerful the DHS will out perform the DE every single time. Furthermore the Armor ignore makes no difference here because they both ignore armor in charge attacks. Also with the DHS you get a nice little polarity slot which makes it so it's less annoying to play with when it doesnt have a catalyst in it.
