Well coming from a big Torid fan, ever since DE fixed the bug with Torid's gas clouds not applying crits, Torid can now be effectively built for either a status or crit build.

To answer your question, the build you use depends on what your goal is. Based on my time with it, a crit build is viable because with both Point Strike and Vital Sense on you can do serious damage over time in an AoE fashion. Remember that the 40% crit chance not only occurs when your Torid grenades hit an enemy, but also for every second in the gas cloud. That means once a gas cloud forms, the 40% chance of getting a x4.4 crit damage bonus gets applied to every tick for 10 seconds per grenade.

As an example here's my Torid crit build I have for taking down Alad V and Zanuka: http://goo.gl/EH5iLs

In this build I maintain a relatively high status to trigger the Blast proc on both of them to prevent them from moving. I have the Toxin to proc in order to bypass their shields and directly wittle down their HP over time. Finally I have both Point Strike and Vital Sense to further crank up the damage potential the Torid gas cloud damage ticks to deal to both bosses. With just a Mirage and Hall of Mirrors, I can take down both Alad V and Zanuka at LVL30+ within 20 seconds.

Personally I prefer a full status build for Torid, but with a crit build I can really see the Torid kicking ass even in T4 missions. That 40% crit chance and x4.4 crit multiplier is really good :)
