Saryn's Miasma does about 18000 damage with max PS min duration (which, I posit, is the only way to use it). The Helm is absolutely crucial and this doesn't even come within the same sphere. Honestly, the greatest utility of this mod is the recast (so you don't have to wait for shield to deplete to recast it); everything else is kinda incidental. Ash's Blade Storm likewise completely wastes this in damage as does Mag's Shield Polarize. There's a reason most damage powers aren't used for anything but farming low level enemies; they just don't do enough damage for tough opponents.
