What would anyone bring a hunter to a raid?

So Warlocks have the self resurrection which is a free wipe save, and the grenade refreshing super that synergizes well with a titan bubble. Titan's have the bubble, which is arguably the most useful super of all in a boss fight. Hunters get a super that amounts to a sniper clip, or bladedancing which will just get you killed in a boss fight. Oh, and some throwing knives. Why would anyone bring a hunter to a raid? EDIT: so yes, we've established Bladedancer is useful, I'm leveling it up now (I didn't play it before). Ya'll can't stop posting the exact same thing instead of actually reading the comments from others in the thread. I'm still not convinced the Gunslinger isn't useless, except maybe on the last fight in the raid, from what I've seen in streams. Also, if it wasn't clear by my profile: I AM A HUNTER (GUNSLINGER). I was asking to potentially provoke discussion/shed light on class balance issues, not crap on players of the class. Stop getting butthurt, you don't work at Bungie and you didn't help design the class, criticism towards the class itself is not leveled at you.

    I'd just like to tell you all a little story of a random L22 strike I just finished... I'd only just hit 22. Like, a tentative, nubbish 22. Queued up for the L22 strike playlist, and got paired with two L23s on the Dust Palace. We blaze through to the end no problem, kicking metric -blam!-tons of ass. The second we hit the endbattle with the 3 Flayers, one guy ditches out on us. Leaving only a Titan and myself, a Gunslinger, to take on all 3 Flayers and their swarms of Legionaries and Colossuses (Colossi?). Game over, or at least a long, hard battle festooned with many deaths and revives, right? NOPE. The Titan died two or three times, and I didn't at all, and we not only won, but won easily. And then we danced. The moral of this story? Hunters will -blam!- your shit all kinds of up, and make pretty damn good teammates.
