I finished Forma 5 on my Lanka. With the specs I mentioned above (same user here) my charge time is incredibly short and the it fires almost as if it were semiauto.

All T3 mobs are one-shot all the way through every wave on T3 Def; the heavies on the other hand take between 1 to 3 hits depending on critical, shot placement, and multishot. On the last wave, Commanders typically take 2-3, Ancients take 1-3.

I choose to take Shred over another Elem. Dam. mod. The result is 90% charge time decrease and a substantial 1.2m puncture. That is enough to go through up to 3 mobs and 2 heavies. Most importantly, this avoids the common problem of where a mob will sudden dash in front of a heavy. And, removing mobs from behind cover is not a problem at all - simply fire through it.

I also have a non-crit hit build that simply combines all available damage mods. I have yet to fully test out how well that works, but I suspect it will not be as effective.
