How good is hystrix for level 80 enemies?

[Bad!]

I enjoy the hystrix and wanted to know how good it would be against high'ish level enemies with a catalyst, so is it alright for that level, and could you give me a build.

Hystrix is very good even in lvl 100 sorties. Using the toxic mode with some toxin damage mods stacks the DoT really well, and the gun itself can deal good damage.

As for build I'd say something like:

Hornet Strike
Primed Pistol Gambit
Primed Target Cracker
Pathogen Rounds
Pistol Pestilence
Barrel Diffusion
Lethal Torrent
For last I'd say either an electric mod to make Corrosive (Jolt or Convultion) if you will be dealling with armored enemies (armor does reduce the damage from toxin DoT) or Augur Pact if you REALLY want to focus on increasing that toxic DoT.
