I think everyone here forgot one humongously important point.

Burst DPS only matters if you can clear the ENTIRE room without reloading. Because Burst DPS doesn't take into consideration reload times, hence it's "Burst". And frankly, that's not happening in anything other than an Exterminate/Sabotage. So what if Sybaris has L33t 50k Burst DPS? It also only hits about 17k Sustained DPS, which is the only one that matters for it. And that 17k is still only if you're willing to throw on a maxe Heavy Caliber. It's perfectly reasonable for weapons like Boltor Prime / Soma / Latron Prime to look at Burst DPS, because those things can ACTUALLY clear an entire room without having to reload.
