Pretty sure crit damage includes base damage as well. So max vital sense hits for (1+0.5)*(1+1.2)=3.3 for a 230% increase per crit. Which is a 115% damage increase in damage. Which multiplies with serration. So max serration + max crit mods would be (1+1.65)*(1+1.15)= 5.6975x damage (about 470% increase).

Also, Grakata has the highest potential non-reload DPS out of all primaries (unless one of the research weapons is better). Because of how crits work.

TLDR: Multiplicative scaling. Course getting serration first is better. What happens when you max serration? Crit makes you even harder.
