Here's how you can tell blasters are generally useless. Try to think of a single team, a single situation, a single time in game where a team trying to decided between two potential teammates would say "No, lets not take the scrapper, let's take the blaster!"

Me. Every time I was running an AV mission. I wasn't looking for other scrappers to round out my team, I was looking for blasters. As a player of both a scrapper and a blaster, I don't feel that blasters are useless. Do I think that blasters could use a buff so bring more to the table on a team, and are more survivable solo? Yes. But do I think that they're useless? Certainly not.
