Right. Smarter players used hunters because they were simply more effective. (and not defenders for the opposite reason).

I would never call them overpowered personally. Gunslingers just allow for more ranged play (including supers) then pretty much any other subclass. Defensively playing seems to be a natural fit for a gunslinger. This lends naturally to a higher k/d potential.

In objective modes I'll run Defender Titan if playing as a titan, and then I'll switch to striker if I need to be super aggressive. Both of these play styles force me to be closer then I like to my enemies which means I'll get shotgunned way more often and in turn lowers my k/d.
