Toxic procs 100% of the time regardless of what status chance you have.

Also, Toxic Sequence is for the damage proc, not just the 200% status effect (which does help the toxin dot tick longer by the way). The proc's damage easily wipes out everything in range up to level 50 and when it don't, it causes radiation which turns enemies against each other. Also the proc restores shields and give bonus shields and since the proc activates on gaining affinity, while in a team, the proc happens every few seconds, especially in higher level missions when the affinity per enemy kill is high.

And the viral proc is not permanent, it has a 6 second duration. However, if you continue to hit the target, there is a 50% chance to refresh the duration of viral proc, so it's semi-permanent depending on how long you continue to hit the target.
