This is really the issue here. I consider myself a primarily PvE player, but like Demos mentioned, a lot of those "shit" perks are actually useful in PvP. It's going to be hard to have perks that are going to be good/great in both because the play styles are so different, same when it comes to doing PvE stuff.
Some people also like certain perks/setups that aren't meta. Personally, when everyone was running around with Skull of Dire Ahamkara for near infinite Nova Bombs, I was running around with Contraverse Hold because of the setup I had for it. Was it better? Probably not, but I enjoyed it more, so that's what I ran for anything that didn't need Well. Same with
Seeing the nerfs on paper sucks, but at this point all we can do is wait and see. If certain things end up being as bad as expected, then new weapons/perks will become meta. And if you're doing general PvE, use what you like regardless of the power level. The only time meta really matters is in Raids (to a certain point) and PvP, but even then you can get away with whatever if you're good with said weapon.
I'd also like to point out that the current Tier 1 loadout has 0 perks listed. I love Recluse + Mountaintop, but they overshadow every other weapon for the majority of content currently, so I won't be sad to see them go. Variety is the spice of life or something.
tl;dr - Wait and see. Not every perk is for everyone/everything.
P.S. Killer is still a scrub that has to bully people with Fists of Havoc.
