A really basic question but one that makes a big difference: Is elemental damage from the hit counted as part of the total damage?

Yes, it's all damage dealt by the hit.

That makes it REALLY attractive for elemental on-hit builds then.

Does this affect hits with skills like Dual-Strike or Flicker-Strike as well?

It should as long as they crit.

Please add a visual effect to this skill if possible! At the moment I still don't know when it's working/how long it's working for/how much damage it is doing.

For future reference, this can't happen. Buff/Debuff durations apply to buffs/debuffs applied by skills, and it's not possible for them to be applied without skill duration also being applied.

That really REALLY needs to be specified on those mods. It needs to say +x% Buff/Debuff Duration from Skills.

There is a visual effect on the poisoned enemies.

Mark also didn't mention that even critical hits without significant elemental damage will also have a visual effect — it's just rather subtle.

That seems reasonable. I'll make that change, thanks for the suggestion.

While I suppose it's reasonable, you yourself said that this effect is not a buff/debuff — it's like a status effect. That would be why it doesn't apply. I guess it doesn't hurt to mention it, but what could be better is instead define what a buff is in a help file, tutorial, or online guide.
If you define the term buff/debuff as something applied by a skill, then it saves space to not say "skill buffs" since that would be redundant.

I assume it stacks with Viper Strike poison?

I know this is a melee-specific passive, but I wish it could be open to bows as well.
