Well, Front Lines actually [b]does [/b]work now... it is very noticeable... ...but damage per bullet goes down. But is it any good? It's basically the opposite of Focus Fire. Focus Fire trades RoF for damage per bullet. Overall DPS is roughly the same, but you [i]save ammo[/i] doing Focus Fire. Arguably it also makes the weapon easier to control, but saving ammo is the real reason Focus Fire is useful, especially on guns with small magazines. Front Lines trades damage per bullet for RoF. The stability goes up enough to keep the gun controllable. I haven't done extensive testing, but my gut feeling is that the DPS is roughly the same -- except now you chew through ammo much faster. Guns in the high RoF archetype have larger mags to compensate -- Fabian Strategy does not. Saving ammo is a benefit, wasting ammo is NOT. Yes, it is [i]different[/i] now but where's the benefit? If the Cryptarch dropped me a high RoF auto rifle with a small magazine, I'd junk it immediately... so why would I want my exotic to be like that? It needs either actually higher DPS with Front Lines active OR there needs to be some magic with ammo expenditure, e.g. fire two shots per one ammo. Or link it with Mulligan or Triple Tap or something like that.
