I have a maxed HC and use it if i need the DPS but not the accuracy. If I need high accuracy i do not use HC, and would not advise using it, regardless of rank. As soon as its worth in DPS the Acc-loss is to severe for most weapons. A maxed HC is more of niche pick, when you want VERY high DPS but will fight in close to mid range anyway and with a werapon with a high baseaccuracy (ie Boltor Prime). For a sniper (most got REALLY bad accu-ratings, but are pinpoint on the first shot) HC is a bad choice, as you loose the pinpoint shot and due to the low accu-rating the shots get a REALLY wide spread ;) A non maxed HC is, in my opinion, in most cases not worth the loss. So i would say got as high in rank as you can with your HC to make it count and use it wisely. In most scenarios a latron P with bane will be stronger than one with HC, as you will be able to score a lot more headshots.

A Latron P with HC and w/o Shred makes sense against fast bosses (ie. Hyena Pack) were you can not hit the weak spots anyway, but want to get them down as fast as possible. For everything else swap HC for Shred or Metal Auger as you will oneshot everything in normal missions anyway (or at least with headshots, which will be hard to hit with HC :P) but killing huge groups of enemies fast or enemies in cover is very usefull. Same for Survival, were you will face huge groups as well. I currently use HC and Shred, because loki can simply walk up to that lv65 heavy gunner und ram the barrel in that monsters mouth :D

Last point then this wall of text will be over. If using your build with two elements (regardless of using HC or Shred) one of the dual stats mods with elemental damage and status chance will give you a (slightly) higher dps as well as a higher status chance (over 6% more) then Hammer Shot. So if you have one of them use those instead of Hammer Shot. Build would be: Serration, Split Chamber, Shred (or HC), Vital Sense, Point Strike, 2 90% "normal" elements, 1 dualstat element (Malignant Force or High Voltage)
