I was using the Vanquisher VIII (not sold anymore) and was surprised that I wrecked people with it.
Surprisingly it took people out pretty quickly and it was fun to use an auto rifle once again for a change.
I really hope autos are buffed soon so we start to see more of a variety of weapons used in the crucible.

And you, along with plenty of other people replying in here, just proved that Bungie didn't nerf them into the ground. I use the pest control matrix in pve. It has its place among my other weapons. It's a terrific short/midranged weapon. They're not useless, like many people believe.
