After the heat proc rework this weapon got better. My builld uses corrosive and a bit of heat to strip a lot of armor. Usually adding only a heat mod wouldn't be worth it, because the low value means it is less likely to proc the element, but with heat you only really need to proc once or twice. Since Hikou prime fire rate and status chance are very high, this means that each projectile has  high chance to proc corrosive, and eventually heat.

My build can kill lvl100 lancers with less than 26 shots if I land them on the head, and about 52 (two magazines) against lvl100 bombards. The heat proc always proc at least once, and the DPS varies if it procs at the beginning or only 10 shots later.

Build: Hornet Strike, Barrel Diffusion, Lethal Torrent, Pathogen Rounds, Convulsion, Pistol Pestilence, Augur Impact and Scorch. (ammo mutation on exilus, ideally primed version)
