I can probably grab the damage order and equation from any information page on this forum or Strategy Compendum, which shows where on the chain Amplify Damage would come in, however, I'd like to calculate a formula I can use to replace such a hitpower with, say, more damage on a weapon when taking affixes into consideration. Here's how far I've gotten:
With '5% chance to Cast Level 1 Amplify damage on Striking' (1/20) and SLvl1 AD lasting eight seconds (200 frames), an attack speed no slower than 10FPA with exactly the amount of damage needed to replace it is required for the formula. If the attack speed is not exactly 10FPA, then more or less damage must be added to the weapon. Of course, attack speed differs on base items with different classes, and this must be taken into account.
So weapon base speed with +/- to various classes, including IAS on the weapon itself, and added damage near the beginning of the formula are needed to replace the doubling effect at the end. All of this knowing that strength and/or dexterity also factor depending on the weapon's equipping requirements as well as additional stats for armor or blocking. If this has already been discussed, point me in the right direction.
