I'm fairly certain the concept of moar dakka isn't foreign to any race...as even Lasguns, pulse rifles, and even missile pods (as well as numerous other weapons) are considered Dakka.
Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper.

-_- Just because I like to shoot more, doesn't mean I can't fight in melee xD...Photon Grenades + charging with Battlesuits...and Commander Carfreight (With Brightsword)

Sure..... you might now have Strength 5 and slightly better combat stats but you are still staring down a literal bucket full of To Hit and To Wound Dice from either opposing army.
well, that's what the Blind Grenades are for xD...combined with Melta Blades and Dawn Blade...combined with slaps from bodyguards...and possibly an Oneger Gauntlet, yeah it's not as good, but it's not designed as a primary offense, you shoot, throw, then charge to finish off the big HQ squad (hopefully the blind went off)

Gunline? Battlesuits don't go in lines...not if you're using them correctly...they're all about in-your-face heavy firepower...maybe I've got a strike team or two covering my hammerheads...with Commander Laserpointer as that secondary force-org...maybe I play a little different than most tau players...for instance, I like the Heavy Burst Tide more than the 72" "Fun" Tide
