Channeling mods only apply while channeling. Also, typically multiples of a particular bonus add up, then multiply off of a base value. So while not channeling, your crit chance would be

BaseCrit*TrueSteel%(if applicable)

While channeling, it would be:

Base Crit*(TrueSteel%+TruePunishment%)

But it really doesn't matter, any mod with negative channeling efficiency is awful and shouldn't ever be used, except maybe Life Strike (and only unranked). And True Steel itself is pretty bad too.
