In PvE, Thorn benefits against shielded enemies, as the "DoT" effect prevents their shields from recharging while you are reloading. It also provides additional damage (never a bad thing). That and being a handcannon makes Thorn very powerful in a PvE setting.
In PvP, again being a handcannon makes it extremely powerful. The additional damage over time means that even if you lose the initial fire fight, there is still a pretty good chance you will be able to kill them from the grave.

For starters - there is no year 2 version of Thorn.
With the removal of exotic bounties, there are no ways to specifically target Thorn. However, you can run year 1 content (raids like Vault of Glass or Crota's End, or the Prison of Elders) all of which have a chance to reward Year 1 exotics. Finally, Xur sometimes sells legacy exotic engrams for 36 strange coins. These will always decrypt to a year 1 exotic, with a strong bias (but not a guarantee) towards ones not already in your collection.
