99% Bias Suggestion on the Stat Charisma!

First of all my character is a TR. For secondary ability score I focus on Cha rather than the Str alternative that many others follow. No matter how I add the numbers Str seems to always add more damage than Cha. This is also assuming that you have combat advantage 100% of the time, which is nearly impossible. It just strikes me as a tad odd that the 'chance' damage would contribute less than the 'sure' damage. If this is truly the case, I recommend buffing combat advantage damage that Cha adds. I am not going to complain if it does not change but I want to present my thought on it.
Some numbers! at level 60, all other stats held constant.
Scenario A (if combat advantage increases damage by percentage)
Let base damage = 1,000 & combat advantage increase damage by 50%
Assume combat advantage 100% (in this case you would think Cha would contribute more to damage)
24 str / 14 cha = 14% damage bonus & 4% combat advantage bonus
1,000*1.14(Str)*(1.5+0.04(Cha)) = 1,755.6
14 str / 24 cha = 4% damage bonus & 14% combat advantage bonus
1,000*1.04(Str)*(1.5+0.14(Cha)) = 1,705.6
Scenario B (if combat advantage increases damage by flat power)
Let base damage = 1,000 & combat advantage increase damage 200
Assume combat advantage 100%
24 str / 14 cha = 14% damage bonus & 4% combat advantage bonus
1,000*1.14(Str)+(200*1.04(Cha)) = 1,348
14 str / 24 cha = 4% damage bonus & 14% combat advantage bonus
1,000*1.04(Str)+(200*1.14(Cha)) = 1,268
In both Scenarios Str gave a larger damage output (damage gap would only increase as base damage is larger). I do not know how the actual calculations goes; for all I know Cha may actually add more damage. I am just posting this thread under the assumption that Str adds more damage even if you have combat advantage 100% of the time. If this is not the case then... oops jkjk.

But from some of these calculations, it seems maybe Cha isn't working right or as well as expected and Str>Dex>Cha might be in order.
This is the complete opposite of what he just said
Wisdom needs a buff for cleric to remove the effect of Diminishing returns. One way to do that would be if Wisdom was to boost the healing bonus received from power, say that each point of Wisdom reduced the required amount of power for a +1% healing boost by 1% but this still leaves it weaker than CHA after this since CHA effects all cooldowns... including dailies. An alternative maybe for it to boost the Divinity gain speed.
