I'm running this and a Viral proc on my Valkyr-Set and I must say that this combo kills lvl 100+ Heavies easier than corrosive. This could be partially because corrosive has about a 1/4 chance to proc (with the same status chance), whereas shattering Impact procs every hit. Additionally, you have a 10% status chance on Valkyr's ult, which then in return looks like this (with corrosive) in numbers:

0.1*0.25=0.025 (2.5%) => on average, every 40th hit (+/- a few, depending on how status procs work - too lazy to read it up now) would be a corrosive proc on valkyr - what isn't too bad considering she can achieve very high attack speed on her melees.

On the other hand, shattering impact strips i.e. bombards with 500 armor of 1.2% of their armor each hit. Basically, with 40 hits, you'll be at 88% of their armor already, whereas corrosive has (statistically) only taken off armor once (25%).

If I don't have a blatantly obvious mistake in my calculations, you should end up with MORE utility on this mod, than on corrosive damage with characters that use their own weapons (Excal, Valkyr) - on Wukong not so much, since he has a status chance of 25%, making it 2.5x more likely to proc your corrosive stat (assuming you're not building for status chance).
