Strength/dexterity (which and how much depends on the weapon) adds to your off-weapon ED. Other sources of off-weapon ED include non-weapon equipment, skills, and auras. All the ED from these sources get added to a single off-weapon ED term.
The damage calculation order is done in several steps.
First, the base damage for the weapon is found.
Then, the ethereal bonus is applied (if it's ethereal), then the ED on the weapon itself is applied, then any +min/max anywhere is added. The result of this is called the weapon damage.
Then, the off-weapon ED is applied to the weapon damage to give the total damage.
(This is a simplified explanation and doesn't cover all aspects of the calculations).
So, with just fists, you had 1-2 weapon damage, which was increased by 95% from strength. A 95% increase on 1-2, rounded down, is a 0-1 damage increase. With the fists and the circlet, you had 6-2 weapon damage. Here, a 95% increase amounts to 5-1 extra damage.
