You have (1+AA_Delay*WD/X)*STR while it should be (1+WD/X)*STR*AA_Delay.

Maybe I'm just not understanding what you're getting at, but this doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

Your second formula can be re-written as (1+WD)*STR*Delay/X without changing the outcome. Which can be written as STR*(Delay + WD*Delay)/X. If STR (and Det, which you don't have listed) stay the same, a larger (Delay + WD*Delay) component would cause an increase in output damage. Baldur Daggers are 63 and 2.56, for a De+WD*De of 163.84; Expanse Machetes are 68 and 2.40 for 165.6.

So even your second formula predicts that Expanse Machetes would do more damage per hit than the Baldur Daggers, when they don't. At 378 AP and 298 Det, the Expanse Machetes do 131-144 AA hits versus 133-147 for Baldur.
