    I figured for a pistol build that you'd use Burst Shot to put up the AP debuff, but Shotgun works too (if you mind the KB in teams). Frag Grenade w/ adv is better dps than both as an AP source, but any of them can work for that. That said, you also don't really need something like Breakaway Shot here, and I may just drop that power for a ranked block enhancer. I also don't really see the point in having both Bullet Hail and Lead Tempest. Maybe if you took the dmg shield adv on Bullet Hail to use it more defensively, and then use R3 LT for easy dps AoE- then there would be more defined niches for both powers. Otherwise, you have the basics covered for a pistol Muni build.
