I have one at 50 (finished in dxp) and yeah it's great on boss farms and suchlike, the main difference to its direct competitors (fire blast and rad blast) is that all the decent aoes (lol m30 grenade) are conical and not targeted AoE, so you have to take that extra time to line up, but I think at the damage cap (easily done on farms) you more than make up for it with the flaming/leaden death that results from the end of your pea shooter*. Be sure to have a brute or two in your team btw or lots of res buffs, as an unleashed AR toon is quite agro hungry. Also tip for using Full Auto: back right up, the cone on it is only 10 degrees but the range is 80, so you can still hit lotsa stuff you just have to use most of the range on it. Oh and I almost forgot: Ignite. This is the power that makes AR better than its peers in my opinion, get yourself a domi in the team (or a decently slotted webnade if you can take the dip in survivability that comes from the lame scorpion shield that you have tot take with it) and you can seriously melt the things that get caught in it. It's just a shame I waited until they nerfed the recharge on it before I made my AR/Kin, bring back 3 second base recharge :P
By the by, does anyone else think it's quite lame that the agro cap is like 17 or 19 or whatever it is, but target cap for cones is only 10?
*until you get a Vanguard Rifle, thas a propa BOOMSTICK (tho atm the muzzle flashes are bugged and come out of your shoulder lol)

i was thinking about making a AR/kin corr for farming because it seems like having fulcrumshift and spamming full auto and flamethower would be very useful in a farm but it really worth it?
