Just to address a couple of things; The Dread *technically* tops at 149% with Critical Delay (Not sure why you'd use that, but yeah). Additionally by the time the difference would really matter, any squad should be running 4xCP. Aside from that it's not worth it to run phys damage mods what-so-ever, really. I didn't want to believe it either, but it's true, to be honest. Elemental is better because it takes it from all types, so unless the physical damage type is 80% (I think) or more or the total damage, statistically it doesn't surpass Ele. Damage mods. Additionally due to damage typing, most L2 Damage Types (i.e. damage types that take 2 elemental mods to use) are more effective. i.e. on the Dread it would be smarter to build for Viral over Slash, because it's more effective versus Flesh-type enemies. So under the assumption that you'll be running 4xCP anyway for Slash, Viral is more effective.
