From where I was standing the skill seemed reasonably balanced.
Just that one group shot a target or two at a time, other one shot four different ones and spread out the damage without taking anyone down
I think the answer is more events, not less - on the low server numbers people stop being used to big fights and then naturally have a hard time focusing during them
EDIT: Also, getting Weskere'd in New York, doesn't get any more classic than that
