I didn't feel it was second best before; the slow handling and shallow cylinder ensured that for me.
Now? Definitely - only to Hawkmoon.

What about Fatebringer, would it be Hawkmoon, Thorn, then Fatebringer, post patch? I just got that and wonder if I should level up my Thorn or Fatebringer first to try out in the crucible.

I don't have Fatebringer, so I can't make an opinion on it. I've heard great stuff about it though.

Hmm. Fatebringer would free up an exotic slot. Though, I suppose that would only matter if your preferred special or heavy weapon is an exotic. But, how could pass up on the utility of being able to shoot someone and letting the damage numbers tell you where they are when they try to hide?

That is actually a pretty damn awesome feature now for Thorn. You can either expect what the player is doing, since they are highlighted when being damaged and or call out to team mates on the enemies location, so they can keep an eye out for that location, while you go take care of someone else.
