I'd like to reiterate that FIRE/ELECTRICITY/ICE DO NOT IGNORE ARMOR. Period.

That being said, electricity damage on corpus will look something like this:

Strun wraith damage = (190 + (190 x electricity damage x 2 corpus multiplier)) x 0.00 armor multiplier.

In short, it doesn't matter if the enemy is weak to an element. Armor will always turn it into 1 damage (or very insignificant, at the very least).

Crit, on the other hand, goes up to 38% proc rate with 320% damage (blunderbuss and ravage respectively). This is clearly better than hitting a bunch of low numbers.

Cleanse adds BASE damage, which means you get more AP damage since AP is also an element and goes up the more base damage you have.

I have not tested shotgun spazz vs cleanse as the last mod slot, but spazz should be used in void runs, while either can be used in faction specific defenses.

My final two cents (and a tl;dr): against low level enemies, yes elemental damage does deal good damage, but you WILL lose DPS because you're going to overkill. Against higher level/armored enemies, elemental damage will do nothing. Therefore, elemental damage in general is useless. Even if you think the boost from adding crit isn't that good, it will ALWAYS be better than adding the rainbow.
