You'll need to Rift Torrent for the damage bonus. Nowadays, Rift Surge by default is meant to keep enemies inside the Rift and make them traps that take new material-bound enemies into the Rift. You can force this radial banish in various ways, which are covered in the tips section of this page.

Limbo's rework took away his Banish's function to banish/unbanish a single enemy no matter which dimension Limbo is in, and moved it to Rift Surge turning it into a multi-target function. I think the point was to emphasize that Limbo is a CC specialist after his rework, and has the option to augment himself for damage.

Now the point of sending enemies into the Rift is mainly to keep them disabled with Stasis. Abilities 1, 3, and 4 all become hard CC when combined with 2.
