Recently I beat crota on normal and was gifted the gjallarhorn and the hunger of crota. I dont see why I would waste my exotic slot for the gjallarhorn when I have the hunger of crota. They are basically the same. Besides how badass the Gjallarhorn looks lol. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Edit: looks like I need to level up my gally. Thanks for the help!

I have multiples of both, all of which are maxed out and use both frequently for different load outs and let me assure you, they don't even exist in the same ballpark as far as single-target damage, by nearly a factor of 2:1. The vast majority of cluster bombs from the HoC don't hit the original target and if the target is airborn (wizards etc.) none of the cluster bombs hit the original target whereas Wolfpack rounds from the GHorn all hit the original, nearly doubling the initial damage. The HoC's main and obvious strength is that it's legendary (hence the only reason it would ever see use from a GHorn owner). The GHorn earns the exotic slot on a very regular basis.
