If we're talking about the Fury, I like to use mine with a 6/6/3/5/6 build. I might change it now though, since I just unlocked the Asari Valkyrie for the 'AF biotic explosion spam' role. Depends how different the lack of teleportation makes it.
Anyway, I spec SF as Radius/Damage Taken/Drain. The increase in priming distance is actually pretty noticeable - you can tell when they're primed by that little bolt of purple lightning that shoots out from you into the enemy.
It takes a bit of getting used to to learn how to get into priming range without getting shot, but the damage it can do is pretty impressive. The class definitely performs better on enclosed maps like Glacier where sight-lines are short, enemies are bunched together and you can easily escape by teleporting through the nearest wall.
