Kinda a little bit behind here but...

@Finner: There are 3 types of mods that directly add damage to a weapon; Base Damage Mods, Physical Damage Mods, and Elemental Damage Mods. Base Damage Mods are things like Pressure Point, Serration, Hornet Strike etc. that say just +% damage. These are the mods the page is talking about when it says 'mods that affect base damage'.

Now in regards to increased Slash damage leading to more Slash procs, here's how it works. The probability of a status effect being the one for a particular type of damage is weighted based on the amount of each type of damage on the weapon. So, what adding more Slash damage does is increase the chance that IF you inflict a status proc, that status proc will be the Slash status proc.
