Is my spreadsheet just calculating shit wrong, and I should probably update? The answer to the second half of that is undoubtedly yes, but am I missing something besides??

Remember, it's not just the type of stat that's important, but the amount of it. Expertise is a great stat, and Hit also when you're under the special hit cap (for 2h, the complete hitcap), but you have to compare the amount of them against others.
The
[Brooch of Deftness] has 43 item points worth of offensive stats (1 rating = 1 item point)
The
[Choker of Serrated Blades] has 60 item points worth of offensive stats (2 AP = 1 item point, 7 ArP = 1 item point, so 35 points in AP and 25 in ArP).
So, whilst hit and expertise are very nice, the Choker just has a lot more going for it due to a) being higher level and b) not wasting quite so many points on stamina.
Stats should never be considered in a Vacuum, you need to look at the items available. I (generally) socket crit over str, since gems have an equal amount, but I'd never take, say, 10 crit over 14str, because 'crit is better'.
To answer your question, I would probably choose to take a point in precision, but unfortunately I can't see your talent spec properly (Armory is crashing Firefox at work).
As for your effectiveness with 2H fury as a whole, I can't speak with any authority on the subject as I haven't been 2H fury since 60, but your attacks *should* be hitting harder due to Imp Zerker Stance, and your bloodthirsts should be hitting for more than your Mortal Strike. As much as it might be an obvious response, and one you're not looking for, I would suggest looking at a WWS, or failing that, just get a nice real time damage meter like Assessment or Recount - something that can show you some details on your performance.
I've had situations in the past where I've 'felt' I was doing well, only to find out afterwards that I wasn't, or the opposite.
One last thing, if you do feel you really were hitting weaker, it might be worth checking that the bosses were fully debuffed? Maybe the warlocks were slack and weren't CoRing, or you didnt have a Survival Hunter, etc. Things like this can make a big difference that you might not notice straight away.
