Brohg, I don't think Fenier was trying to be useful as much as correcting a misconception. The spells you listed aren't the same as the original idea and Fenier was pointing that out.
A focus of 100% means the spell will have extra damage somewhere up to 100%. OK, so there's a chance that the spell will double, but on the whole it will average 50% more. But as Fenier said, in those cases the spell can crit on top of that.
Also, these days a crit is more than double damage anyway.
