It is worth mentioning that a trusty wand of wraithstrike combined (or a heartseeker amulet) with a wand chamber can make the best case frighteningly common, even for on-level enemies, since having a touch AC of 9-11 is not particularly uncommon for giants, golems and the like. That said, excellent math. A more complete assessment would be more useful for the sake of actual optimization and I definitely would find it interesting to see mathematically what power attacking for x3 (leap attack), x5 (combat brute), and x6 (combat brute + leap attack) does to damage calculations, especially in addition to x2, x3, and x4 modifiers to total damage (valorous, battle jump, spirited charge and combinations thereof)
