In the case of DoT procs (e.g. Bleed, Toxin proc, Heat proc, etc.), if the player happens to land a crit and a proc on the same hit the DoT will be increased based on the crit multi. However, a DoT itself cannot crit, so if you proc Bleed normally the Bleed DoT will not crit on its own.

For elements that do not have DoTs they are also effected by crit multipliers. Their respective procs, however, are not. Such in the case of your Viral example, if you crit and proc Viral in the same hit your actual Viral damage itself will increase, but the Viral proc will remain unaffected (so no increase to halving the enemies health).
