Not really true. Puncture is good vs infested too. The small enemies do  not really count. Even high lvl they are mostly done with one single shot, no matter what damage type. What matters are always the heavy units. And they are mostly with high armor which gets best killed with puncture.

So puncture > all vs grineer, void, infested.

Bleed effect from dread could be nice, problem is: you want to kill your enemies as fast as possible, so the bleed proccs have the problem that if enemies live long enough to get the max out of the bleeding effect, you really have other problems. The Problem is, puncture damage gets better and better, the higher the enemies get, and so even with bleed, dread lacks behind.
