Your math is way off.
Combat Mastery 40%->48%:
+0.85% damage on 10% defense monster
+2.35% damage on 25% defense monster (most bosses)
+9.66% damage on 70% defense monster (PB)
No idea how you got 3% damage from 15%->16%. MW 32 vs MW 30 is about +0.87% damage with no equips. With +150 STR at level 200 it's about +0.76% damage.
Brave Slash 210%->214%: +1.90% damage
Enrage 60%->64%: +2.50% damage
Totals:
+6.14% damage on regular monsters
+7.71% damage on most bosses
+15.41% damage on PB
The amount of damage 12% str adds is 12% if you have no other +% str gear. The more you have, the less it's worth. If you already have +100% str, 12% more str is +6% damage. 1% str should be worth closer to 2 attack than 1, though.
Also keep in mind that partying with a Paladin (which should be a somewhat popular class now) always makes the +% str gear better, assuming the skill cap is +2.
