Bungie doesn't "get" why shotguns will never be good in PVE (Destiny)

Basically, the argument is that high-level combat in Destiny is designed in a way that makes close-quarters fighting virtually impossible. Enemies during raids/nightfalls do too much damage to risk going near them. Most bosses have some kind of stomp/area attack that makes it extremely risky to approach them.

I think there is a lot of truth to this. I'm still looking forward to the patch... Shotguns will be more fun to use in some of the more casual combat situations. But when it's time to get down to business, I don't know if a pure damage boost will ultimately make me use them over a sniper rifle or fusion rifle.

Thoughts?
