Exactly, otherwise you have to worry about and deal with 5 little grunts shooting their plamsa pistols which dont do much damage alone but 5 together with the elites rifle is just hell. I also found it somewhat easy to go through on legendary if you kept a plasma rifle instead of the pistol along with a human weapon. The rifle does more damage or at least seems to than the pistol and can also take down elites shield decently fast. It tends to overheat however, thats what led me to take the pistol more often.
Yeah the plasma rifle is very effective, even at a distance, it definetly shoots much straighter than the assault rifle, and drains sheilds alot quicker, not to mention the fact that it temporarily stuns your opponets...
