The longer Absorb is up, the more damage it will deal (as long as people are shooting at you, of course). So, as the OP said, sit on the cryo pod in a defense mission, let a bunch of enemies spawn, then *pop* they're all dead.

The new Absorb is infinitely better because you can can blow it up after a few seconds or just sit there racking up damage, there's no way I'd want the old one back. And, if you're talking about efficiency mods not affecting the per-second drain, they've already fixed that.
