Gas builds are very effective against Infested, even more so when the weapon has 25%+ stat chance, so that's probably why you're seeing that. As for Grineer, the forced Bleed proc bypasses Armor, directly hitting health for full damage. In many cases it can be much better than puncture, even if the slash damage is small, and especially when you can easily and reliably stack the Bleed procs.

You're right though, the number one reason Telos Boltace's wave attack is so nice is because of the Relentless and Blood Rush combo. Players mainly use the wave attack to quickly stack the combo counter initially, then they will physically hit the enemies with their charged up Telos Boltace, dealing a larger amount of damage much sooner than any other weapon. Of course, Maiming Strike further intensifies this style and it can become fairly OP quite fast.
