Yes
At 60 you get 11 bonus damage, and the fist become 20/16 (1.25 ratio) in the main hand, that's why it outdamage most weapons with a better ratio, addy club in comparaison become 26/25 (1.04 ratio)

It's not correct.
While the tendency is right, the MH Bonus is added without Modifier.

The correct formula can be found on the Wiki under Mechanics:

[Max Damage] = ([Mod] x [Weapon Damage]) + [Main Hand Bonus] (rounded down)

I did not know that interesting thanks, so the Mod is always minimum 2 and up to 4.31 for monks with max strength. That makes the bonus damage less relevant than I thought but still something to take into account.

[Mod] is calculated as: ([Weapon Skill] + [STR] -75) / 100

Monk DPS calculator from 2013. No velius stuff, but gives you an idea.

AC overrated. Jade mace does basically same DPS (higher DPS at 59+)

[Lurgort/Sseri]

It's not a raw increase to the ratio, it's a flat bonus in damage scaling per level.

If epic fists were 20/16, Monks would be spamming attacks over 100 damage.

dmg bonus is not base dmg

[Legidias]

Its more relevant than you think on high AC raid targets, where you will very rarely hit for max damage (and more often hit for 11 dmg).
