For example:
Base bow damage (physical): 100
Increased Physical Damage: 20%
Increased DoT: 10%
120 + (20% + 10%) = 156 damage (taking the final damage of the blow and applying both DoT modifiers)

There are (since the DoT refactor) four sources of damage:
1) Attack Damage (includes any attack-only modifiers such as melee) - always has base damage come from a weapon.
2) Spell Damage. Base comes from the skill, affected by spell modifiers.
3) "Secondary" Damage. Not affected by spell or attack modifiers, but still hits. Used for stuff like the explosion from Infernal Blow.
4) Damage over time. Not affected by spell or attack modifiers (because it's a separate class of damage), but anything that cares about the type of damage (fire, elemental, chaos, etc), or what deals it (trap, minion) will apply.

Things that will directly affect bleed damage from Puncture (off the top of my head):

• Damage modifiers
• Damage over time modifiers
• Physical damage modifiers
• Projectile damage modifiers (if applied with a projectile)
• Area damage modifiers (if applied with an AoE)
• Totem damage modifiers (if applied with a totem)
• Trap damage modifiers (if applied with a trap)
• Mine damage modifiers (if applied with a mine)

Nowhere in that list is 'Melee Damage' mentioned.
