Is anyone else underwhelmed by the Scorch Cannon? (Destiny)

I was underwhelmed until I figured out the mechanics of it. I like the sticky charged shot and how a longer charge means more destruction. I wouldn't call it a big deal, but it's fun, on par with the Hive swords. Now if they would just bring those swords back, Destiny would be pretty close to being the crazy playground it seems to want to be.

I'm not positive the charge actually increases damage. I see numbers like mid-3000s whether I fire and let go, or fire and hold for several seconds.
