^ You have a point there (Serration +165% vs. Primed Point Blank +165%, same mod cost too). Vicious Spread loses out against Heavy Caliber (+90% vs + 165%). In fact, the +60% from Blaze doesn't cover the difference. The only thing Blaze wins out is the extra Heat damage, but I can see why it is sometimes not desireable (I mostly mod for Radiation and Viral, so maybe that's why it seems good.)

The one thing shotguns win out is the Multishot mod (Hell's Chamber +120% vs Split Chamber +90%). But it still comes down to how you mod it.
