ScatterShot2>CripplingShot.
Even if you really don't need the speed mods.

It all depends on your play style and if you believe ScatterShot2 is better in PvP or not......otherwise CripplingShot with BH speed is quite awesome 
Carbineer has many useful Specials for different situations, there really is no single UBER Special. Carbineers use their MIND to win a fight, not spamming one Special 40 times

ScatterShot2 shines out over CripplingShot in PvP.
ScatterShot's Mind damage ability makes it more effective there, interchanged with FullAuto's for the state effects.
In PvE, CripplingShot works better because teh HAM of mobs in game is pretty well equalized and they rarely have the ability to heal damage.

My experiance has been this... Against a medic that can heal health and action, or against a rifleman that inherantly uses a lot of mind, Scatter Shot 2 is best. Against all others, Crippling Shot is better. Without healing, Crippling Shot will take down 4k+ health a lot faster than Scatter Shot will take down 2-3k mind. Again, as with most carbineer fights, you just have to think and react with what is better for the current situation you are in.

On anything that's CL 70 or so and up scattershot 2 seems to work better for me, because it does more consistant damage to one pool. On lower level things you can KD them and get them either dead or 1/2 to 2/3rds of the way dead with crippling shots. Scattershot 2 is definantly better in PvP, unless you are fighting an unarmored or unbuffed person. Scattershot is also great for finishing off anything once it gets low on one pool from a few crippling shots.

I'd say 90% of PvPers have medic and 50% of those can use Stim Ds or better which can heal the whole pool. I go for mind no matter what.

Scatter shot 2 is basicly the ranged version of unarmed combo 2(TKA) and scatter hit 2(fencer)
what it does is basicly fire 3 shots at once and hit 1 2 or 3 random pools, it is excellent vs people with high dodge and counter attack
why?
as i said scattershot fires 3 shots, if someone dodges of counter attacks it, only 1 shot gets evaded but the other 2 go thru
i would say scattershot is worth it big time

Like TA said, Scatter Shot, Scatter Hit, Unarmed Combo (I've used them all) are NOT 3 shots. They are a SINGLE shot that distributes it's damage 3 ways. Why are so many people so delusional?
