Recommended Alternative Mods
Steady Hands - In place of having no Exilus mod. This will cost Two more Forma in order to have though and is an option if you can't really handle the weapons recoil.
Ice Storm - In place of [Frostbite] if you care for 3 more shots in the magazine at the expense of 60% status chance and 20% less Cold Damage.
Primed Expel Corpus, and Expel Infested - In place of Lethal Torrent if you want more Damage against a individual faction at the cost of some Fire Rate and MultiShot. This in turn will also cost one more Forma however.
Primed Expel Grineer - In place of [Carnis Stinger] if you want more Damage against a individual faction at the cost of increased Slash Chance and 60% status chance.
Primed Heated Charge - In place of ONLY Scorch in the Infested Build. You will have to forma the weapon one more time in order to have though , but it does wonders against the Infested.
Convulsion - In place of Jolt in the Corpus Build. This easily can go hand in hand if you also wanted Primed Heated Charge for the Infested Build at the cost of one more Forma. Again Heat only goes on the Infested, it doesn't work well against the Corrupted and Grineer.
Non-Recommended Alternative Mods
Primed Heated Charge - At least when going against the Corrupted and Grineer is a bad idea. It is better to just have 4 statuses against these factions instead of a possible 5 which not only causes Slash Procs to appear less, but heat actually doesn't do as well as Slash would do with Viral. Sure it increases the damage, but it doesn't help any against the Corrupted and Grineer. However, it is perfectly fine in the Infested build as discussed before.
Ways to increase Critical Chance and Damage
There are several ways to enhance Critical Chance and Damage for this weapon:

[Mirage]'s Eclipse which adds a massive damage bonus during the day or in light.
[Saryn]'s Toxic Lash mixed with her Spores abilities.
Critical Chance:
[Harrow]'s Covenant can add up to 50% Critical Chance and 200% on headshots.
[Adarza Kavat] with [Cat's Eye] can give a 60% Critical Chance boost.
Smeeta Kavat with Charm can give a 200% Crit Chance.
