my shock gaige strugle with raid bosses

[Zireael]

hey
so i've been playing my gaige since i came back
followed by Nova Shock gaige guide

i finally reach OP8
and this is my build :
http://bl2skills.com/mechromancer.html#5000501500004500551005014121501510502

im using:
Shock CC X7 OP8
Slagga - for slagging only
Pimpernel's OP8 both Corrosive and Shock depens on the situation

those are my main weapons.

im using Antagonist OP6 - Storm Front op3 - Legendary Anarchist COM lvl 70 and OP6 Shock relic

i was trying to get my self a Blockade / Evolution Shield so i tried to solo some raid bosses(Without pre stacking!) and found my damage too weak :<

i wonder .. ? is Gaige possible Solo Raid bosses?
does my build is only for mobbing?
should i try diffrent weapons?

Weapons i tried:
Lyuda - really like it . tried to farm one but got no luck !
Veruc / Emperor - nice weapons but the Shock CC does better job so i dont find the need for them.
Kitten / Bone Shredder / The ♥♥♥♥♥ - nice smg's with low damage - again i can use the Shock CC instead so no need for those

weapons i want to try ?
Thunderball Fist
Twister

Remember that if soloing or if as team leader in coop, you must continue playing at OP8 in order to get more OP8 goods - the difference between the best shields / guns / mods / nades / relics at OP8 versus say OP6 is SIGNIFICANT so aim to equip at least one full set of all-OP8 gear.
Evolution drops from Hyperius in UVHM. You know where to get the Bee.

If you max-out Anarchy to 600 then Gaige is probably one of the best. When solo raiding I generally go for the Norfleet and Sham build and use the Grog Nozzle and Chain Lightning for healing. For Hyperious I spam him with my Fire Norfleet as soon as he spawns (sometimes drunken for more damage) and then get all of his minions together with a singularity grenade and spam them with a Corrosive Norfleet while healing myself with the Grog Nozzle from the damage-over-time and Chain Lightning. Then finish off Hyperious when his minions take his shield down. Super efficient, super-fast, and no skill required.

Also, apart from Pete, most (if not all) of the raid bosses are weak to Fire and even with the boost that Gaige gets from Shock, it would still be better to attack them with a Fire weapon. Obviously use Shock to take down Voracidous' shield, but then switch to Fire.

plus, whenever Hyperius (and his minions) throws his shield up, you can use the Flakker on him, as the explosive projectiles won't be deflected back at you.
