There are probably 100s of them by now.

There was one running around a few hours after the servers came up on Tuesday, fully purpled and PvP IO'd.

So what is the verdict? Are they as bad as everyone says at high lvls? I have a 33 DP/Devices, that is fun and so far not bad in teams, but still very squishy.

Dual Pistols is average at high levels. Very great animations, but it could be better.

^^I agree with this^^
Its a fun set to play,with great animations and a solid attack string.Damage could be better,but still a good teaming toon.

I have two. one is /em and other is /devices. There ok! I went in to Sirens with Brady- (/Devices) and had an ok time. Everybody wanted to beat up the new DP guy, LOL. I'm about 50% IO'd. Animations are to long, and damage is ok. Although I do really like finishing someone of with executioners shot. I'd rather play my sonic/em

Although the animation time seems too long when compared against similar short-range high-damage attacks, I have to agree that the animation for ES just screams attitude.

Not 50 on Live yet, but on test I had one I purp'ed out, level 34 and set IO'ed on live atm.

Mitigation and burst damage are both low. My Fire/MM with no built in defense outside of Drain Psyche is so much more survivable than my DP/Energy with aid self. (Which is scary)

Comparing it to other blasters, Its sadly at the bottom of the list for practicality, but definitely high up for style. Though it is definitely the only set that really isn't made for jump timing. Executioners shot and Dual Wield just don't look right as you are jumping around attacking at the peak.

I was hoping to just build it standard HP capped, Pile of Recharge Pile of Damage Like I did my Fire/MM and Arch/Energy but it really looks like I might need to invest into postional defense or maybe softcapped to S/L or something to solo decent sized mobs on the build.

I should state this, I survived a lot easier on my kin/dp defender than on my dp/mm and I think the only reason was cause of the kin and psy sets... XD Blasters sacrifice def and resistance to blast the baddie away to survive the encounter, if you don't got the damage, when your a blaster, then you don't have an easy way to survive. If your a new person to the game and decide to try out dp/ whatever as your first toon and continue to die at low lvls, do you think they well continue to try the set out? You've got to have damage if you want to survive tough encounters, throw in a little tactics, and luck and you got a decent toon. But yes, there are surely 50s by now, end of opinion.

Oh my, did I laugh. Totally know what you mean. You'd think what with going through character creation and having power decriptions floating about the place they'd have this sorted by now but apparently we need a 'take ten paces' power.
