Punch through is personal preference and situational. You are lowering damage to potentially do lower damage but over more than one target, but the targets need to be in a straight line which dosn't happen often. This isn't discrediting punch through as i use it all the time, but sometimes it's best to have more damage to a single target than less damage over multiple targets.

The ignis and embolist have for the longest time been considered crap weapons because they deal little damage to one target, yet they deal massive damage to entire groups, which is essentially what you do when you add punch through to a weapon. Even before the buff, the ignis excelled at group CC where other weapons could only target one or a few enemies at at ime.
