Interesting.
With the model I'm using,
Probability of orbs occurring; i.e. 14.99% of the time, you're attacking with 0 orbs, 17.01% you're attacking with 1, etc. This is with Final Attack and 1 Advanced Combo, such as using Brandish.
Compared to FA-less
In terms of scaling damage to the probabilities, I think average damage combined with FA would be a good enough estimate. I don't see Monster Magnet charging Combo any faster. Its advantage is being able to stun and maintain Chance Attack, but its damage is so obscenely low at level 1, I don't feel this is significant until the really late levels of the skill.
