Well, probably at most +50% damage on a final build, and typically less, since all you're boosting is base damage, and there are a lot of other sources of damage (enhancements, procs, etc.). Edit: Wait, SOs, so no procs, no damage bonuses. Probably closer to that +50%.|

It's certainly nice to have, but not a deal breaker I think if it doesn't mesh with your play style. Mind you, if the only reason you don't like it is you forget to use it, train yourself to remember.
But yeah, the big to-hit buff can be a life saver, or would be if I didn't habitually build up when entering the fight and every time it recharges thereafter.

@ClawsandEffect: Yeah, I'm already noticing how helpful the +acc from BU can be when fighting things that heavily debuff my tohit. No, I don't have ninja run.
I'll probably be sticking with the Kat/WP, simply because its defenses aren't bad (I'm frequently softcapped against incoming damage) and the resistances are much higher while the damage isn't that much lower.
Can anyone suggest a good ranged AT for my second toon? I was going to go with a Crab, but the end issues look to be a massive hassle if I went with the AoE buff/kill strategy that I would want to use with a toon like that. Also, I hate the costume you're forced to use. Actually, its mostly the costume, I can't stand that helmet. Would a Widow be good? or should I be looking at Blasters/Corrupters? I'd be looking for something that wouldn't die easily, preferably one that had a lot of AoEs with as many of those being ranged AoEs as possible or several really strong STs.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
