I've actually found that with just Chilling Reload on it and remembering the spread is half as wide as other shotguns, all clunkiness goes away. Remembering that bit about the spread is important.

Corrosive/Cold mods on it does really nice vs. Grineer or for general use, and vs higher level Corpus you can just switch the order of two of the 60/60 elementals to bring a strong Magnetic/Toxin build.

Also, it's projectile based, but the projectile speed is much higher than normal so the disadvantages of that are greatly reduced. Along with the innate punch-through, that means you can clear a whole line of trash mobs in one shot without even needing to put Seeking Fury on and it combos amazingly with Mag.

End result is that it's probably not as directly potent as the Tigris Prime, but it comes very close and unlike the TP it's actually useable on lower- to mid-level content.
