This thing strips armor very slowly, but at linear rate e.g. 1.2% per hit against units with 500 base armor, so against mid level or higher base armor, corrosive procs will strip out armor much faster than this mod up until some point. Against lvl 100 butchers though? This will just completely remove their armor in one hit while corrosive procs will be struggling.

About the damage part. Corrosive/radiation will have a really good headstart and will only rise in damage number up until the last armor point, after which it will lose its 75% bonus. But most enemies would be dead long before that time.

Viral? It will struggle until the target has, like, 500 armor left or something. Its proc can be look at as a 2x damage to health, but 2x 5-6% of your normal damage isnt going to be any good anyway.

But then again. You can just use viral spraying gun and corro+shattering melee in conjuction for the best result.
