Vitality for Infested, Redirection for other factions, double up if wanting more defense, steel fiber gives very minimal return and does not decrease shield/toxin damage. Basically as little defensive mods as you feel comfortable with/can get away with. Rush could replace or accompany any of those. Achieveing max ranked mods as you've stated will give you a very significant improvement. Since there's no Fleeting Expertise a Flow can help in various situations that allow stockpiling. A weapon that deals a good damage/fast shot to detonate M-Prime chain quicker.
