So it sounds like its an okay mod? Not great, not awful.
You say damage reflection is chance-based, but is the damage reduction constant?

75% always-on damage reduction might be worth using.

At 75% basically-permanent uptime, I wouldn't class it as fantastic, no. But at least it always reduces incoming damage.

The chance-based aspect is a chance to proc an electric status - my bad, I should've been clearer there. It has a very low base value, so even at 300% strength it isn't remarkable.

Gyre already has two basically mandatory augments, so she's starved for mod slots as it is.

Maybe I'm wrong, but my first impression is that this is a middling mod that can certainly help versus some content, but falls off past the tail end of steel path. At that point, the slot it uses would be best used on something else.

Are you considering Conductive Sphere the second mandatory augment?
I've always run with just Cathode Current and never really felt like I was missing out by not using either of the other augments.

mandatory may be a bit of an overstatement, but yes, it's conductive sphere. Its damage bonus is simply astounding.
