1.10 [skill effective] * 0.7 [less boom effective] * 1.69 [level 20 Conc Effect] = 1.3013 explosion effective

So, good estimation.

My question is does the explosion trigger CoMK? It is of course a gimmick type of use, but the qual inc radius would affect other gems linked, even those linked through CoMK. So a Shock Nova could conceivably be bad, instead of horrible.

Anything that says MORE is multiplicative. Anything that says increase is additive.
Conc effect is 60% more, then the multiplier is 100%+60%=160%
Static waves have 70% base dmg of your static strike hit dmg.
So 70%*160%=112%. It's really basic game mechanic.

Don't use Abyssus if you are RT plz. Now in 1.3 90% percent of the items value is the crit multi. And more over with two hander's low attck speed the 40-60 phys doesn't do much.
Put a light Pen gem, dont use added fire.

In PoE, "less" and "more" are multiplicative modifiers, each of them on its own.
"Increased" and "Decreased" are additive modifiers, all added up into one multiplier.

Static Strike has 110% base damage.
30% less on the explosion.
69% more on lvl20 conc effect.

110*(1-0.3)*(1+0.69)= 130.13%
(When only interested in comparing tooltip DpS with explosion DpS, a lvl20 conc effect lets the explosion deal (1-0.3)*(1+0.69)= 18% more damage than the tooltip number)

Because that 130% result is almost the same result as you got, let me do it again with "your" numbers for clarification:

x=tooltip damage
It is x *0.7 *1.6 = x*1.12
Not x*(1 -0.3 + 0.6) = x* 1.3.
