Corrosive Dart does internal damage, so it's not reduced by armor like most of the Operative attacks. With the 2 talent points, it does more damage per energy than Lacerate (including 50% of a Collateral Strike) to targets with at least 16.5% damage reduction from armor.

Yes, you're right. I forgot to take the damage type of corrosive dart into account.
For raiding I think I will take it back into the rotation. For pvp and solo/fp's my experience is that you need more burst damage than anything else and corrosive dart is mostly a last 'fuck you' before dying.

what is better then: corrosive microbes rank 2 (b) or lethal injectors (a)?
unskilled dart ticks 5 times over 15 seconds. with lethal injectors we get another tick, therefore improving the damage/energy by 20%. you also save 1/5'th of a gcd by having to reapply it less.
microbes rank 2 increases the damage from 1.125 to 1.25, giving it a flat 11% damage increase (= damage/energy).

that leaves us with the following questions:
Is 1/5'th gcd more or less dps than 11% of additional corrosive dart damage?
if we have more energy by having a better energy/damage quota, how many overload shot's do we get from it that replace a rifle shot?
