I tried asking on the BH threads as well, but to no avail. So plain and simple, which is better flame thrower or light lightning cannon? I'm building agood PvE template and i'm almost to TKM. Thanks

I've never played BH so I'm not the best to answer this, but I'll tell you what I've heard...The LLC is a lot like the FT, except for our Flame DoT...
From what I've heard, BH's that become Commandos seem to like the FT of the LLC...but I could be wrong...

Flamer.
I've got a novice BH on TC, and my commando on Valcyn had the LLC tree for a short time. The flamer owns the LLC in virtually every way. It does more damage, has a dot, and looks cooler.
The LLC, I believe, only has AP1 going for it, and the standard fire rate seemed slightly faster than my flamer (standard fire rate, not specials).

A flamethrower is better than an llc. The firing rate is slow, but you can get itspeed sliced. I have a 3.3 speed with 500-800 damage. With specials I can do up to 10000 damage on occcasion and regularly over 7000. THe best I have done with the llc is 3000 damage. For PVE the flamethrower is a hell of a weapon. For PVP it sucks, unless you can live long enough to set someone on fire. In the few duels I have done, If I can land a burn on someone its over, even if theyknock me down. They'll get incapped, get up, burn, get incapped, get up, burn, get incapped, die. The burn causes a lot of wounds. But you have to be prepared to miss 80% of the time in PVP. In PVE you will miss about 20-30% of the time.

The LLC is faster, does electricity damage and has AP1. The FT is heat damage with no AP, slow spead and higher per hit damage.
They're both situationally useful, though with the FT"s low HAM cost, it's generally easier to use since you can DoT and flame stuff all you want without worrying about draining HAM draining due to insane special cost like the LLC has.

I've been both and I've Krayt hunted with a FTcommando while I used the LLC. Over time, the FT is the better weapon IMO. The LLC is good for getting one hard hit on a target (or blowing nests), but after that it's usually better to switch to another weapon.
