Void Gauntlet DPS

I rarely see the VG get any attention beyond a secondary weapon. While I enjoy the blade aspect and use it a lot for my mutations and regular content, I was curious why it doesn't seem like a popular option. I know the other melee weapons have great synergy within their trees; so what would be needed to make the Void Gauntlet feel like a viable DPS weapon in late/end-game for you?

Edit: Thanks for the feedback guys! I'd love to hear any thoughts on how it could be better or what you like about it. Since the beginning, I used it during solo PvE content with essence rupture and oblivion. Currently, im using Fissure, but want to get a 725 gauntlet at some point. Im just getting into PvP so mostly I am talking about PvE. I haven't experienced many memorable times im using it, but ive ad 1 or 2 OPR moments where I survived a 3v1. I haven't understood the scream skills allure, so mostly, just Essence>close the gap>oblivion>blade>attack. Is my method.
