I had to remake some calculations, since I forgot 25% damage-factor for merc vs Act boss regarding Crushing Blow.
Setup 1 : Infinity eth GT 340ed + Andariel's visage 15ias/30frCodeNo supplier, against Hell Baal players 8
Body armor Hits to kill Time to kill
Treachery 1532 337 sec
Fortitude 1300 338 sec
CodeLevel 35 Concentration supplier, against Hell Baal players 8
Body armor Hits to kill Time to kill
Treachery 1153 253.7 sec
Fortitude 1030 267.8 sec
Setup 2 : Reaper's toll eth GT 240ed + Guillaume's face 15ias/40edWith Treachery :
15/40ed in Reaper allows 4.5 fpa / 7 fpa (decrep) : Treach A
Shael in Reaper allows 4.5 fpa / 6.5 fpa (decrep) : Treach B.
With Fortitude, 15/40ed is used in Reaper's.
CodeNo supplier, against Hell Baal players 8
Body armor Hits to kill Time to kill
Treachery A 744 163.7 sec
Treachery B 782 172 sec
Fortitude 619 160.9 sec
CodeLevel 35 Concentration supplier, against Hell Baal players 8

Treachery A 542 119.2 sec
Treachery B 576 126.7 sec
Fortitude 478 124.3 sec
like i told you, your calcs were wrong before.
it's obvious now that treach wins.
what was left non-calculated is also fhr animation likelihood and thus total time needed to make those attacks, since more interruptions = longer duration to strike again which affects total strikes taken per x time.
also, the fact that a strike animation starts faster due to a higher ias bp leads to not being hit by more mobs in the game first, but having your merc hit first and thus avoiding yet more fhr animations, and killing faster overall.
also haven't included damage taken with treach under fade vs dmg taken with fort under ca, you'll see that 15% dr and 60@ greatly diminish dmg taken by both phy and elemental attacks, leaving the merc more fhr-animation free and a faster, better merc.

to me, defense is also important. Most hamemrdin merc do not use reaper tols or infinity, they use insight. They use eth insight with eth andy and eth fort. Iso this calc versus eth insight/treach/eth andy , no cb is applied. Plus, cb do not affect leech. Baal is not the most adverse environment either, it is pretty easy.
most of what you wrote is either answered in the calculations or in the faq. it clearly shows you haven't paid 2 seconds looking through them.
