I don't buy the damage = number of ravens * hits per raven * damage per hit argument. While there are three numbers and while these do produce that number when multiplied together, the resulting product is meaningless.
It's still just 22 damage per hit, or 110 if all five of them hit.
Most summons don't die after a specific number of hits. So if you had a summoned creature that never died, even if it did just 1 damage per hit, it could do eventually do millions of damage; you just have to be patient.
And I think that raven wouldn't be overpowered even the ravens could get an infinite number of hits. The limit means you have to recast it a lot, so it's a problem with convenience, not with power.
Most item poison sources don't do any significant damage themselves (unless you have a lot of them). Poison is still powerful, though, because it stops regeneration. That isn't the case for ravens.
I tried enchanting ravens, but it wouldn't work. I can't target the ravens at all, either with enchant or with unsummon. While this would make them powerful, it doesn't look like it's working.
The blinding effect is nice, but I don't see ravens ever doing a significant amount of damage in hell.
