For PvE: It is usefull mainly for the exotic perk. Every kill will start your health regen. This is especially helpful with the hard mode crota encounter. Damage wise Red Death is still just ok. Despite the damage buff to all pulse rifles the damage output is less then a good scout rifle with Firefly or a handcannon. It is comparable to an autorifle. The low range hurts though. PvP: So long as all shots in a burst are precision damage you will kill most players in 2 bursts. This AND the health regen is amazing. The lack of range compared to most pulse rifles is not as noticeable in most Crucible maps. Tl:dr PvE - Get it. You won't use it all the time, but you definitely want it some times Pvp - Get. It. Now.
