Never underestimate utility provided by Radiation procs or by any procs, for that matter. Of all the weapons you've named, there's only two status viable weapons. Why is that important? Well, if an enemy can kill you before you can kill them, you need some CC, because, frankly, you can't kill things when you're dead. That's why you need Radiation, Blast, Heat, Electro, Cold and Impact. Of course, you can argue that you have CC from the frames, but then you lose out on abilities that multiply damage  (having four Novas in the party is a bad idea. Two Rhinos and two Novas doesn't really work out, either. Mirage? Good luck with the Bombards.), and all your DPS talk smoothly goes into the trashcan. Besides, Viral procs are the only type of damage in this game, besides Shield Polarize, thatscales indefinetly.
