Considerably... The effects it grants you access to outclass it and it's cheaper therefore more effective

Can this be casted in stealth?

Nope, the skill un-stealth you.
For the damage component and the comparison with force pulse, remember that FP has 10% spell penetration and get bonus damage from altmer and dunmer passives, making it stronger in term of raw dps. It also active the ancient knowledge passive, so you don't need to run wall or rage on your main bar for pve. Last but not least, FP has an aoe component.
On the other hand, imbue is cheaper.
The secondary effect applied by imbue isn't as powerful as some people think : chilled is far more present than burned and concussed, and FP still has 40% chance apply each effect independently per cast, which result to a very close uptime (and far more with an asylum staff, even imperfect).
Really, for pve the skill is balanced IMO. For pvp, the burst with be a slightly tighter, but not stackable with an another spammable so it's probably ok.

WhipSmartMcoy, as far as I know Summerset after Queen's Decree is still under NDA so vid clips and screenshots prohibited.
has anyone tried this with like a ele weap innerlight (for empower) style rotation?

Ele weapon damage is not affected by empower. So, losing a GCD for 40% more damage on your next light attack will never be useful in term of dps, especially since you need to avoid using a weaved LA between your empower cast and your ele weapon cast, resulting on a GCD and 60% of a LA damage loss.
In pvp, it can be used for burst if you manage to land it.
Not to highjack the OP’s thread lol, but is Imbue quick to get?
With the Mages Guild, it progressively requires more books per level. Is the Psijic skill line the same or does each level require the same amount of XP?
I plan on leveling up this skill line on multiple characters. Only 1-2 might want to fully lvl it.

Didn't you forget the orb passive for this comparison?
