Blast is stronger than heat if you have it maxed (180%) compared to heat alone (90%). The 50% bonus doesn't actually overcome the nearly double damage from Blast. And that's before adding the infested weakness.

In fact, the same holds true for the other 5 dual elements that don't include infested bonuses. Tested here.

The only exception to this is a case where elements are unevenly maxed. Such as melee where Blast can only use 150% of your weapon power. I also can't test whether 150% fire on rifles (90%+60% from wildfire) is stronger than 240% (90+90+60) blast. I do believe it is equal to or stronger than default blast (180%) in that case though.
