why TS3 for your aft torp, do you spin a lot to use this?
consider: the counter command deflector, which offers energy weap damage AND accuracy.
consider: the romulan engine that improves attack patterns.
you appear to have (unless I had a moment?) the warp core skill for when power is low. This is a no-go with an amp core, it adds zero at 75. If you are not at 75 in all power levels, you absolutely should use the AP set instead. From the screencap for your traits, it looks like you may NOT have 75 in all power levels (?).
I don't know the icons. Are you running aux 2 dps reputation trait? Or, maybe better, what are those for the icon challenged reader?
also, your active officers: what are they?
you have NO aoe at all, and a LOT of the "big dps number parses" are AOE parses. Actually, almost ALL of them are. 10k on a single target is GREAT. The big 50-100k parses are just doing 10k dps or so on many targets at a time.
ideas, of which your results may, or may not, be actual significant improvements:
You might do better to just lose the torp and get a CSV and another turret. Or, better yet, just put the omni beam in the aft, let it consume your BO, and use the officer for BO, let your cannons pierce the shield? Or keep it as-is for a bigger BO crit, either approach works. Trouble is that using the BO early to bypass shields then CRF, your crf is weaker with only 3 cannons. Ill be honest, I am not sure which is better, the dbb front and bigger BO or a beam aft and better CRF, but I lean toward the CRF. BO is all or nothing on crits etc.
Another thing I am not sure of. Amped core vs AP set (would again mean torp becomes omni beam, 4 cannons up front). With ap set, you can dump all excess power to aux and beef up dps with aux. It might eek out a little more dps at the cost of engine and shield power, which may, or may not, be worth it.
I hesitate to say it but DBBX4 omni, ancient omni, cutting beam ... there, I said it.
Also with Phantom i would use Surgical Strikes, its like a beam overload that affect all of your weapons, it is hands down my favorite intel ability.
phaser lance is fine, but in pve its a toy ... big damage and long cooldown is meh for actual DPS. In pvp, it can help melt your opponent faster, once in a while.
Overload is awesome. But how you use it matters. It can be a huge crit hit. It can also be used with the active duty officer to bypass shields, and make your cannons stronger. I can't recall if cannon tac skills and beam tac skills share cooldow... can you use BO, activate shield penetration, and then use rapid fire to melt hull (or surgical...!)
No, I see your BOs. I asked about your active officers, your duty space officers.
Area of effect -- AOE. Hitting more than 1 target at once. You can't compare some idiot spamming fire at will (hitting many targets all over the map) to a single target rapid fire cannon build. You can't expect to match the damage done when hitting multiple targets to your ship's single target output!
Full stop is death in pvp. You lose like 90% of your defense rating. Always move at least 1/4 impulse. In pve, it really does not matter as much, but if you can move a little you will not need to turn around to run away as much because they hit you less times...
the person above me is quite right: you also should be using surgical strikes. I forgot that this morning.
No, I am not going to fill out a planner for you. I offered some things to try ... change a couple of pieces of gear and a few officer skills and see if it helps.
um, don't technicians only work WHEN A2B is used?? (If that is not the case, someone say so, not 100% sure but that is what I recall).
Why a torp officer.... use a cannon officer, or *something*. Again, try the beam overload guy that causes attacks to go thru shields.
mirror hakeve for your HE is also wasted.
you find them in the exchange, usually. I think they are tactical officers of some flavor, not sure exact type from memory.
Your power levels are close. Can you manage to reach at least 125/75/75/75 IN COMBAT? Maybe with the new gel pack rep console? Plasma leech would work, or maybe the OMEGA shield that does power, but with 0 flow caps... your ship's power is a little lacking. And you didnt put captain skill tree into all the power level boosters. Across the board trying to stretch a little power a long way....
OK. Your build does NOT have aux 2 bat listed. That is ok, I assume it is just a mistake in your linked setup then. That makes a LOT more sense.
I don't have the names of duty officers memorized but there are millions of them. The overload one is Beam overload text in the "energy weapons officer" category of tactical. I don't think he is unique, not sure. Besides, I am kdf, so my officer's name is probably different.

You might also want a cannon skills or whatever it is cooldown officer. Or not. I don;t know the type but its common/plentiful and cheap. He is on the SAME page that I linked above!
You might REALLY want that gel pack then, it adds 7% more skill cooldown to your 30 AND it reduces the CD of A2B skill.
I just said. I was editing it as you typed
http://sto.gamepedia.com/Specialization:_Energy_Weapons_Officer#Beam_Overload_variant
1 cannon type and 1 beam overload type. same page.
edit: i faund cannon one too one quck question if i put 2 of those for beam oweload will penetration incrise? i put 2 for 35 % and i get total like 70% shild penetration ?
no, you get a higher chance to get 35% penetration, not a higher actual penetration, as I understand it. The chance is not added, its statistical rolls. So you get 2 rolls against 30% (or whatever it was ) to get 35% shield pen, which works out to something closer to a 50% chance of getting a proc, in the neighborhood, doing the math in my head.
Its up to you if you use the torp or not. But I would not, and I certainly would not waste a TS officer skill on an aft weapon.

Also, it seems from your stream of consciousness typing, you're not really thinking about stuff or understanding why it works, you're just looking for the answers. Stop, take a minute, look into what everything actually does, and you'll understand why it makes more sense than whatever you were trying to do before.
Vice Admiral of - Starfleet Command -
Great advice, I suggest you take it.
If you want pure dps from a dbb phantom, here's how you'd do it.
Now, here's why I changed your build:
Boff abilities:
Intel Team 2 is going to do little. It'll drop aggro for a short while, but this build is setup to obliterate everything in it's path, and you should either be with a good team and dps-tanking everything, or bring an actual tank with you - one copy of IT won't save you. Also, there's no point in making it rank 2.
Iconic Turbulence 2: It's an interesting debuff, but you can put way better offensive powers here.
So, let's look at my layout:
APB1/APO3, 2xFAW3, 2xTT1: Fairly standard, max rank FAW, and the Zemok APO3 APB1 cycle allows you to alternate attack patterns and time one with each FAW. 2xTT for debuff clears, shield balancing, and slight damage boost is standard.
2xOSS2: Allows for major power spikes that will buff your weapon damage and aux trait for a sizable damage buff - especially when timed with APO3.
ETPW1/EPTW3: This allows you a half-dragon EPTW, and I took EPTW3/DEM1 over EPTW2/DEM2 because it's a higher damage setup - the extra damage DEM gets isn't anything next to an extra 3.3% all weapon damage and more weapons power.
ET1/HE1: Debuff clears, since Plasma fires are common and ET clears the OSS system offline. Also, having a few heals is nice.
---
Gear:
Nukara/Romulan/Nukara is more dps than CC/Nukara/Nukara, and there's no point in pushing the rarity on any of that gear, or mark on anything but the rom engines from a pure dps perspective. It'll help you live a bit, but you surely don't need to epic it.
Dyson 2-set: Simply put, there's no way that 3% crth outweighs having a second omni-AP beam. Especially since you can do it legitimately with the ancient one from the story mission and a crafted one, it's the way to go. Also, the plasma fire burn from an extra embassy console is several thousand dps anyway, also more than that 3% crth.
---
Skills:
Starship Electro-Plasma system is a must-max skill. As the skill that determines your max overcap, you have to have this for purposes of weapon power. It'll also help with EPTx power.
Batteries helps with weapon/aux batteries, especially in the age of Exocomps everywhere.
Power insulators are basically worthless for dps purposes as a tactical captain in PvE, so there's no point in skilling that.
You've got to be able to move your ship, especially with DBB's. I wouldn't hesitate to max out impulse thrusters on any skill tree around.
---
Traits: You have biotech patch and not accurate? This looks like you went to the exchange, said 'what are all the expensive space traits', and dumped them in.
Oh, and don't forget your pirate sci boff, and grab a naussican from diplo t4 for your pirate engi boff if you can.

Tacs are overrated.

Build questions? Look here!
First of all, what is it that makes the Phantom different from other ships? Spend some time thinking about that, and what capabilities it has over other Escorts and ships that might make it more effective.
Secondly, PVE is about not just how much damage you do, but about how much damage your TEAM does. The Phantom, going back to the first point, is one of the few ships that is HIGHLY capable of increasing team damage on a target via several methods... Combine those methods, and the sky is the limit for how much damage you can do to a target or multiple targets simultaneously.
Now I'm being purposely vague here because copy/pasting builds doesn't accomplish anything. Experiment and gather knowledge, then decide what play style you enjoy to play the game with, and go from there.
