To be honest, no. Excalibur probably has the most agressive oriented playstyle of all Warframes, so an fast and hard hitting AOE weapon should be the best. I would recommend to you the Dual Ethers ( Armor Pen + Above average Charge damage - 100 dmg) or Dual Heat Swords ( AOE and highest charge damage of all "fast" weapons - 150 dmg as the Furax single target knuckle ). The Dual Ethers and DHS are pretty close damage wise, as Dual Ether's lower damage also comes with a faster charge rate when compared to DHS. So I would say DHS is better for Boss slaying ( I deal 1011 non critical damage against Phorid with 125% Killing blow - charge damage - which is pretty high for a fast weapon I believe ).

Reminding you that most "SLASH" type weapons - Mire being the only confirmed slash that deals less damage* -  ( confirmed for DHS and Dual Ethers ) should deal 3x against Infected and that most Charge attacks ignore armor.
