I don't think it's OP, and thus there is no need to nerf it. First, it requires mastery rank 7 which is a fairly steep requirement. Rank 7 is not hard to get to, but does require a lot of time investment. Second, while it does deal high damage per shot, you have to keep in mind the DoT is over 4 seconds. That means its DPS may not necessarily be that high. Someone tested this yesterday and found their Despair would kill enemies in T3 Void faster than Acrid, but Acrid had much better ammo efficiency due to its high damage per shot. While this is anecdotal evidence, it does makes sense.
