I feel that the only 'survivability' mod Nidus actually needs is Rage - it takes advantage of Nidus' health regen from his passive aswell the infested patch from his 4th ability. Even without it you'd probably have few troubles sustaining energy to spam his first two abilities in order to maintain stacks for his undying passive, and the maggots help in no small part aswell. Of course, starting at 0 stacks Nidus might run into trouble staying alive before he gets his inital 10 stacks.

Basically, Nidus is the ultimate rage-cycler. Just slot in all your power range & strength mods, top it off with Rage & Natural Talent to spam those abilties and you're golden. You don't need power efficiency, and you don't want power duration (though you don't want it to be so incredibly low that your 3rd & 4th abilities last literally less than 10 seconds - I'm looking at you, fleeting expertise).
