Actually, it does have one major disadvantage that's not listed above. Because the DoT targets the torso, your elemental damage is going to be reduced to nothing on any enemy with decent armor. With most other weapons, you can aim at unprotected body parts to avoid armor, or 'weak spots' to maximize your damage.
