Every attack type's modifier is accounted for, and accounted for post modding. However, only basic damage/crit attributes of the weapon are calculated, the claws can not inherit special attributes like melee channel, berserker etc, or elements. Hysteria beefs up the base stats considerably with its own bonus so the loss of elementals is a wash.

In testing on terminus, I compaired an Obex to a Scindo in hysteria (both with idential mods, maxed pressure point/killing blow/finishing touch/reach(no affect?)/true steel/orrgan shatter). By regular attacks:

The obex had a relative non-crit attack of 591 and crit attack average 2248

The scindo had a relative non-crit attack average of 1047(!) and crit attack average of 2932(!)

However the obex's greatly enhanced crit rate cause the difference in non-crit damage to quickly weigh to its favor. Since hysteria has no charge attack to use the superb heavy weapon charge attack damage multiplier, I think it's currently wisest to find weapons with strong damage for the non-charge attacks you use most (like leap and regular) and good crit multipliers for the ability to further aplify.
