What's wrong with getting gas AND slash procs at the same time? Both deal damage, but you want to know what sucks against high level enemies with armor? Gas. Want to know what ignores the armor completely when you proc it? Slash. Same with viral procs. Combine viral and slash and you can ignore the armor completely.

You go for gas procs on weapons with really high base damage that don't do slash damage well. Like vulkar wraith with a -impact riven is great for gas. But when you have the best IPS (slash) and can proc it, you usually want it because it ignores armor. Sure, you can kill a level 165 heavy gunner faster with a kohm riven with -slash that has fire rate, damage, multishot then a kohm riven with sc, damage, multishot, acceptable neg but once you actually do an endurance run and have 4 corrosive projections the latter riven is going to outperform the -slash one by miles.
