What was the Gunslinger's intended role in PvE?

I've been a Gunslinger since I picked the game up as a Christmas Guardian, but the more I tackle endgame content and the more I find myself attempting to solo things like Nightfalls, the more I realize just how useless the Gunslinger seems to be in PvE compared to Bladedancer. The ability to go invisible almost at will is just such an insanely useful ability in PvE content that its almost insane to use anything BUT Bladedancer specced for invisibility in PvE. What's that, gotta go revive teammates? Take cover and go invisible and revive them with almost no risk involved. Oh, gotta go defuse some mines huh? No problem, pop your invis and just defuse it without even getting shot at You can sneak passed crowded areas with high level enemies such as the Crota's End Abyss and Shrieker Hallway events, and then there's Strike instances such as the section with Hobgoblins and multiple Minotaurs that you encounter right before fighting the Nexus on Venus. I dunno, I look at the Gunslinger and I see a class designed entirely for PvP with no redeeming PvE qualities outside of MAYBE Celestial Nighthawk super in certain situations. Am I missing something in PvE? I don't want to switch to Bladedancer since the class as a whole is just not my cup of tea playstyle wise, but I feel like a burden to my team if I don't just pick Bladedancer in PvE EDIT - Lets also assume I have talent with controlling my weapons so that Gunslinger's Trance isn't that useful of a perk on anything but ARs TLDR: Can't wait for The Taken King because damn at least then Nightstalker will be super fun and PvE viable
