I wouldn't say Dance is dominated by hitscan weapons directly, but it can get pretty dominated by weapon jump based caps. And the primary way to counter those, in turn, are with hitscan weapons.
Anyway, adding damage to the laser isn't the only option suggested, for example:
tZork's suggestion would work well by making the laser dependent on "Fuel" which regenerates like health, but has nothing to do with your durability.
Thus the laser could be set to cost more fuel and you'd have fewer jumps with it at a time (you'd have to wait for the fuel to auto regenerate) but you would not suffer any health loss from using it!
