Of course it's just rough esteamate just accurate enough.
1. It won't make much of a difference as they don't have additional OP effects. Besides he uses Awakened Melee Physical, etc. etc.
2. Both builds benefit from Intimidate. Simulating Chill as I mentioned would make it even more in favour of cold version. Ticking power charges barely gives minions damage.
3. I don't care about PoF but pretty sure you can figure out the way to reserve it given SB is 35% mana reserved not 50%.
4. No, you only have Vulnerablity for self-cast curse for phys version massive direct damage increases. Punishment is unreliable and Assassin's Mark will do basically nothing.

I like your conclusion when none of your mentioned points would actually reduce damage of cold version in any meaningful way. *shrugs*

Feel free to edit PoB to include everything if you want, but you will always have significantly more damage with cold version in the end without anything fancy, because of it's mechanics. Though as I said it's still not really worth it at this point.

I played around abit with both builds and cold did pop up as more teoretical damage, however i feel like the struggle to keep that dps number up all the time is a struggle. You also drop shapers touch for alot of ES/sec and in general a big ES pool, so i'd say its really what you want.
