yes, exactly. a weapon with 600 Corrosive and 400 Blast damage will get 60% of it's procs to be Corrosive ones.

Beware of base physical weapons though, there it's calculated differently. the physical damages (Impact, Puncture, Slash) get procced 4 times more than elemental damages. so for example if your weapon has 100 Impact and 100 Heat damage on it, the chance for a Heat proc will be 100Heat / (100Impact*4 + 100Heat) = 100 / (500) = 20% and NOT 50% as you'd think.

that's why base elemental weapons tend to proc your desired element much more reliable without having to put tons of the same element on it in order to increase the chancce for it being procced.
