Currently, just clicking on a username and then clicking on the comments link in the user profile gives me a pretty good sense of what that user is like.
My highest rated comment so far occurred yesterday, when I got 30 points for saying something reasonably good early on in a popular post. I think other people agreed with what I said, and so (appropriately) just upvoted the comment rather than repeating it.
If your proposed feature just ended up displaying lots of comments like these, it might not be that great.
A somewhat related idea might be to let longstanding/high karma users add a 'top N favorite comments' list to their profile. When you looked at a user's profile, you could click through to see their favorites, and the comments by them favorited by others. (Users could add their own comments to their favorites list, if they wanted to.)
I can think of several users right now whose favorites would be interesting to me.

This is why some indication of a user's median karma per comment would be at least as insightful as his or her total.
