It'd probably end up being like a channeling build on a normal weapon:

A waste of time and energy because you can mod for better things.

(IMO it's only a good idea to go with a channeling build if you're going on a Warframe with a straight-up melee build. And even then it's still a better idea to build for crit/status/straight up damage.)

Note that I'm not against channeling builds, I just feel like it's kind of a waste considering the mods used don't scale in power with energy used.

An example would be True Punishment. Lets say the normal 5 energy drain is +40% Critical Chance with -60% Channeling Efficiency. If it suddenly got buffed up to 9 or 11 energy drain, the positive addition should increase as well. Something like a +50% or +60% bonus. The same should apply to the other channeling mods, life strike included.
