So, how to elemental mods calculate into critical hits? If i've got hellfire equiped, does the critical hit do more damage than if hellfire is NOT equiped?

I ask because at the moment, i've got a latron prime that i've forma'd 3 times. The loadout is hellfire(max) stormbringer(max) Piercing Hit(max) cryorounds(max) speedtrigger(max) split chamber(max) and serration(2 from maxed).

This leaves one slot. Previously, i was leaving out cryorounds and had maxed point strike and vital sense. But i have found that, on outer terminus and palus, i can oneshot the lighter units to higher waves with just point strike and all 4 elemental mods installed, as opposed to sacrificing cryorounds and putting vital sense in there.

What i'm asking is, do the crits i get with point strike and vital sense plugged in take the elemental mods into account? Because I don't feel that super crits roughly 25% of the time should be measurably inferior to just slapping cryo rounds in, and foregoing the crits.
