Basically think of it as: Trident/M1000 are offensive weapons, whereas the Furie is a defensive weapon.

Trident/M1000 are non-stop death machines which can handle anything whereas the Furie shoots toxic globs that eat away at anything that crosses over the puddles left over.

Going back with the defensive part of it, although I have not used it, I understand that it works the same way as the Corrosive Slime Cannon from the Blue Moon Transformers games. Due to its insane DoT stats, if used at the Last Stand entrance, Onslaught gates, or in the corridors on Pods/Melt, you barely need to shoot again as the puddles will eat everything that walks over them.
