I'm not usually too vocal about where I think the game needs balancing, other than Shotguns I'm fine.
But as someone who is awful with Fusion Rifles, I shouldn't go in a positive K/D my first match with Telesto, even if most of my kills were one for one. Overall the weapon feels pretty overpowering and I know why it's predicted to become the Gally 2.0
I'm concerned for how PvP will turn out if/when Xur sells this, especially for Iron Banner and Trials.
Maybe I'm over reacting and I just never had the right fusion rifle, but goddamn this thing is powerful.

Don't be concerned. A good player can go 1.0 with it, but do FAR better with a different weapon. For a special weapon, the Telesto's time to kill is absurdly long. Sure it will kill in one shot every time if you land all the mini grenades onto the enemy, but the explosion that they produce is too small to realistically ever catch a second person in the blast. And if you don't stick all the little baby Harbingers on the target, its just not going to inflict enough damage to kill them. If your running with a Telesto, you can expect to get a LOT of post-mordem kills. I has its uses in PVE but seriously, its not going to be any kind of PVP powerhouse.
