In regards to the stagger, it's just DE's incompetence showing. From what I can tell, they wanted to make enemies more threatening on the Vallis. They certainly seem to hit harder and take more hits and turn than normal Corpus their level. The smoking gun though is in how many of these enemies stagger you. From Trenchers that constantly try to stunlock you and Moas that do a flying side thrust that would make Bruce Lee jealous, all the more elite enemies will try to stagger or knock you down. Profit Taker herself produces several effects like this on her own too. So combine her, and a fuckload of these roided Corpus and you are never getting back up again. Mods like Handspring, Primed Sure Footed, and Resolute Focus become almost mandatory for this content.

My point, more concisely, is that I do not think this fight was designed with constant knockdowns in mind. I think they just picked something that makes enemies dangerous, applied it to too many of them, and choose to spawn them en masse on top of the boss's own bs knockdowns.

To be clear, I've got my meta meme builds and duo her consistently with my friend. It's still fun once you get the hang of it, but this is just another example of DE's shortsightedness.
