Quick sniping tips... (Destiny)

So tl;dr is, aim is 25%, the right gun is 25%, map knowledge + gametype experience is 50%

I have both Yasmin and 1000 yard and I have been told both are good guns. But I can never twitch head shot fast enough before someone runs for cover. I can be sitting waiting, and I normally just get a body shot off before they hit cover again. Now I could re-adjust my aim for when they come around the corner again or I can move. In most cases neither work :-)

But when I stay I usually get out sniped because they know where I am and they CAN get the head shot.

This is purely a practice issue. You're doing the right thing initially, but need to get used to finding head level. Destiny's geometry actually really helps with this. There are lots of art elements that are right at head level to help you set up shots.

Once you snipe and miss, move to a different spot. You know where they'll be looking from and what they'll initially be looking at. Use that information to your advantage.
