You can also "extend" the length the poisons are applied quite a bit. I ran a double DOT poison build in the last PVP event since I suck at PVP. I had a lot of fun experimenting with poisons and different gear sets. There are some really interesting poisons you can come up.

If alchemical poisons can proc the poisoned status effect, what rate is the effect chance at? Standard 20% chance, like an enchantment? Would the charged trait affect the poison the same way?

Lots of ambiguous mechanic interaction here that's pretty difficult to test.

Yes, same 20%: https://eso-hub.com/en/status-effects
Charged should modify that like it does any other status effect chance.
