On the older Klingon ships, you'll notice that almost all of the phasers can fire to the rear of the ship. This was originally to deal with Kzinti drones. The phaser-2s are intended to do double duty, defensively as drone defense and offensively up close. Not much use in the sabre dance, but in SFB Klingons have DERFACS [Disruptor Extended Range Fire Something Something System] which makes their disruptors more accurate at long range. That makes up for the relative weakness of the phasers.
The Klingon D5 was a radical design, it used fewer but better phasers and used a special fire control system called "aegis" to improve its drone defenses. (In FC, the seeking weapon impact system works kind of like aegis works in SFB.)
