IMHO, Shred is an absolute must have in a build for higher level enemies. Even maxed out on crit damage and crit chance it still takes a few rounds for them to go down, precious rounds that could be more useful killing the enemy behind as well. Even at 100 rounds it still doesn't seem enough, so rather than increasing magazine capacity I'd rather increase the DPS of each round shot as well as efficiency. Multishot may bring them down faster, but the guy behind is still there, at full health, waiting for you.

Of course enemies vary and I would use your build for a B build instead of A. This is my approach. For the last one I could go with an elemental after a forma. Ice damage would be the most viable. Elite Grineer with their annoying shields are harder to deal with without the shield damage it gives.
