Like any direct damage based strategy, you're going to run into serious problems facing high level foes, but if you already have some tool for getting around those defenses, this might become a tool for spreading the love.

I can see this going together with the unusual way Punch Through applies to beam weapons, but that would mean giving over 2 slots to gimmick mods, on a weapon that already falls of too soon. Caustic Amprex + Saryn + Nova might make a good CC team for sorties, but you would need a selection on Primed mods, some Forma, and maybe even some Rivens and Arcanes to bring the damage up, before you could extract any real cheese from the combo.
