Well, if your chain firing ppcs (1 at a time)... Then you are doing it wrong. I see this from time to time. Ghost heat doesnt kick into until 3+ ppcs, so you can easilly fire 2 at a time. The whole point of PPFLD is to fire a strong concentrated shot in 1 click, and then either shield or fall into cover. Its not about dps, or damage to heat. Its about large damage to 1 component, with the added protection of being able to negate or midigate incoming damage.
Lasers (even Pulse lasers), have a burn time, where your opponent can spread or hide from before all the damage is elapsed.
So, if you are standing out in the open in your awesome chain firing ppcs like a stationary dps turret, then I can honestelly tell you, you need to switch weapons.
