**UPDATE**
The Critical issue is not related to the elixir. I have only seen evidence it on the Swift Dragon Talon and the Angel Talon. All other weapons tested, including a level 35 talon worked properly, both with and without elixirs. The high level talons experienced the crit problem with elixirs, blessing and with nothing.
The stacking issue still stands with all weapons tested.
***********
As a stat guy [read: big nerd] I am always watching the numbers and I noticed something off in my runs in eruption so I decided to do some tests. The conclusions I have come to are:
1) Critical damage is being calculated incorrectly ON HIGH LEVEL TALONS.
2) Damage Elixir and Daily Combo Damage is not stacking (most likely others also)
First the basics on critical damage. Crits are equal to 2 times the effective damage and appear in orange. Effective damage (listed damage - opponent armor if any) appears in red. The first image shows a proper crit hit with a toon with no elixir or daily blessing. Damage is 76 and Crit Damage is 151.
20811
Next we have a toon using a 1.5 blessing and a 1.5 damage elixir. Original damage is ~350. Effective damage is 528 (only 1.5x, should be 2X). Crit damage is 710 [2X original damage, should be 2X effective damage].
20812
Next I purchased the 3 plat 2X Damage elixir to see if the problem was only related to the gold elixir. I also had the 1.5X blessing at the time. Original Damage is ~350. Effective damage is 706 (2X original damage, should be 2.5X). Crit damage is 925 (1.3x effective damage, should be 2X effective damage)
20813
This last figure is with NO elixir, just the 1.5X blessing. Original damage is ~350. Effective damage is 524 (1.5X). This is the same it was when I had BOTH the 1.5 blessing AND the 1.5 damage elixir.

So in conclusion, damage elixirs are not stacking (again, most likely others also, but can't test) and crit damage is not being calculated correctly on high level talons.
