That is not how you calculate those odds, and that is not a well-founded understanding of a normal distribution. You're looking for the Law of Large Numbers. I posted it earlier.

It's worth noting that DSM does in fact agree with me regarding the basic mechanics of procs, although he is no longer willing to say so.

If you swing exactly once, it either procs or does not proc. The chance of a proc on that one swing is 10.4%, and the chance of no proc on that one swing is 89.6%.

At the same exact time that you swing, you have a 12% chance to proc the weapon. There is nothing more complicated going on. They are both independent dice rolls that trigger on a per swing basis.
The proc % chance depends upon the weapon delay and dexterity, of course.
