(Not sitting in front of the game right now so can't post DOFFs and Passives.)
Basically, my thinking is this: with a fused Proton weapon, you might as well try to add a bunch of other proton damage to the ship. I'm not high enough in Dyson rep yet to get the Experimental Proton Weapon - I'll replace the Phased Polaron Dual Cannons with it when I get it.
The only other weapons that (sometimes) cause Proton damage are Protonic Polarons. Assuming you have them, it makes sense to have two pieces of the Jem'Hadar set to get a Polaron boost, as well as a Polaron-boosting tactical console.
I don't yet have any Protonic Polaron weapons, so the Phased Polarons are what I have for now.
My basic combat approach is: GW etc., then switch to Tactical mode and hit them primarily with my front weapons. Rinse and repeat.
Thoughts?
