Knowing that, then CDR is a percent as well, and is a percent of bonus damage dealt on a critical hit. The CRD as a number is less helpful to understand, I change it over to the percentages to get a better look at it. The synergy you described basically means you will deal more damagebon critical hits, but your chance to land them is unaffected.
