To start off, I'd like to say I love the UI for Destiny's armor grid. It's easy to use before a mission and usually doesn't need to be accessed during a game. However, the weapons grid I feel could be improved upon.
For example, I love using the sniper rifle although there are times I need to quickly switch my sniper for a shotty. During the time it takes to press start, hover over my sniper, find my shotty, select it and slam on the B button, I've either almost died or I am hiding In a corner leaving teammates to fend for themselves...
A humble suggestion would be (if I was to design this) to press and hold Y (or whichever button you use to switch weapons) at which time a list of your primary or secondary weapons (which ever you are currently using) pop up in your HUD. Also, leaving the screen mostly visible and not hidden by your character and a white screen. Then, you use the D pad to select your weapon, unpress Y and voila, quickly switch your loadout while saving precious time!
What are your thoughts? You like it, don't you!

That's the point, you choose your class at the start of the game and can change when you want but you're supposed to get your setup and run with it, not change playstyle mid life

Couldn't they just add an additional slot.

Ohh yeah... What happens to the heavy gun Class?

I think they should move the emotes to the Y button (tap Y and it brings up a menu) and use the Dpad as a weapon swap with 4 slots. This way, you're a bit more dynamic without having access to your (in my case, immense) armory
