It means when you hit with melee, crushing blow removes 1/4 of a normal monsters base hit points (assuming 0%dr), when the player count rises and the monster gains a boost to hp, the crushing blow still only removes 1/4 of the base hp.

e.g. a monster has 100 hp, crushing blow removes 25% = 25hp removed.

in a players 8 game (350% enhanced hp boost), the monster has 450hp, but the crushing blow still only works against the base 100hp, so it still only removes 25hp.

Open wounds is just a set amount of damage (life drain) based on your char lvl, it doesn't increase or decrease with player count. http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Open_Wounds#1.10.2B
