Your calculation also assumes the monster in question have 0% resistance. At -150% resist witch is abslute max (at lvl 25 or somthing) most monsters will be brought down to -100% res (witch is the lower cap on resist) In effect this means that all elemental dammage (including the dammage from charms) will be doubled. A shocking small charm with f.ex 1 - 50 dammage will then deal 2 - 100 dammage per hit. An inventory full (40 sc's) would deal a HUGE amount of dammage (if all where 1-50 it would give 80 - 4000 dammage per hit or avg 2040 per hit)
at lvl 20 with +2 all skills and 7 in all the 3 resist skills you get +266% per element. At 100 avg dammage this gives 798 avg elemental dammage from venegance or about 1596 per hit (assuming no resists above 50% )
The ammount of elemental dammage you can get from items is so high imo that its better to go for zeal / conv instead (with double the attack speed). Venegance is much better tho, if you could go two handed or get some 1 hander with an extreme avg dammage.
Zeal : Faster ( 4 frames max), more phys dammage (more leech = live longer), harder to interupt (only interuptable between each 5 hit cycle) and costs a lot less mana per hit.
Venegance : hits harder, speciacly with huge dammage weapons and guaranted 3x elemental types (no immunity problems)
