They need to make all weapons powerful in their intended rolls and stop trying to balance for use. People will use weapons they are comfortable with regardless. I have always loved scout rifles and I used them before they received a PVP buff and I still use them now. Same for hand cannons. After using the Imprecation to get my PVP head shots, I had the urge to pull out my old Timur's Lash - and guess what? Nerfs and all, the gun STILL wrecks it! People always migrate to weapons they perceive as, globally, the most effective in PVP regardless of their personal playstyles. ALL weapons have different roles they are designed to fill, and none are good in ALL situations. They need to make sure EACH weapon is powerful enough to perform well in its designed role, and let the players make the weapon choice based on playstyle. Until they do this, you will ALWAYS see people running around with carbon copy/cookie cutter guns. But it will be a very dark and cold day in hell before I stop using my NITC/Patience and Time in Crucible.
