Blast is basically Impact proc with AoE. As far as status weapons go, pure elemental is always better than physical. Only Slash procs are somewhat usefull. And no, 10% status chance out of 35% isn't "too far behind". To put it into perspective - with 35% status chance you can achieve 98% status with 3 elemental/status hybrid mods. 100% with 4. With 25% status chance you will achieve only 85% status with 4 mods. The loss is quite big, especially since now you also have useless Impact proc among the possible statuses.
