there is some misinformation regarding the ability "venomd": the damage they have listed is the damage it deals per active venom node on an enemy. at rank one venom will put 2 nodes on a humanoid, at max it puts 4 on a humanoid. (i'm not positive about how often it deals its damage per second but i'm pretty sure its about 2) so you are actually dealing somewhere around 80 damage per second using a venom (4 spores dealing 10 damage each ?2? times per second. [4*10=40] 40*2=80)

against ospreys it will only place 1 node. It will place 4 nodes on moa's but it also deals increased damage against them (i currently don't know the specific reason but moa's take increased damage from poison sources)

another thing to note, if you shoot a node to cause it to spread it will consequently reduce the amout of DoT's running on the enemy the venom spreads from, so once you've started a venom chain try to switch to a different target each time you want to hit a node. (i'd sugest using a shotgun to shoot at nodes or a low damage high fire rate weapon)
