*twitches*
As if there wasn't already ample proof that Berman and Braga have no real grasp of Star Trek aside from potential as a cash cow.

The simple answer would be:
phasers at sublight, photon torpedoes at warp (or when you want to do a lot of damage).
Of course there were plenty of times that has been goofed up in the series (and the disruptors being sonic weapons deal in TOS), so oh well....

Actually, in the TOS episode "Day of the Dove", Klingon transporters completed their operation surprisingly quickly.

Well Ted, the transporter on the Enterprise beams people faster than the one in Picard's time too. "Enterprise" takes place before Kirk and Spock! What the heck?
