That's not the question.

For example, will a sword with Viral damage proc for Toxin and Cold statuses as well as Viral status, or does the combined damage completely override the basic elements status chance?

Because then, there's absolutely no need to get more than three elements for the sheer amount of the status effects which can proc on a single tough target.

So in fact, a sword with Corrosive, Heat and Slash (as dominant physical damage) might work just fine in combination with Saryn's Spores (Viral) and Toxic Lash (Toxin) - with the highest amount of possible status effects, consequentally, increasing the damage coming from Condition Overload. With a decent Riven and using the Crimson Dervish Stance, known for its triple damage output, I see a DPS monster there. In theory, of course.
