Could you explain how you derived these values, Mavanas? From what I see in the DPS Output sheet, it looks like you add 50 to each stat and use 1000 iterations - is that correct?

You can hit all three parts without jumping; you need to be directly inside the Leviathan MK II (watch out for Hand Pulse however!). Alternatively, using Baby Spice on Leviathan MK II or VX-001 helps.

Surprisingly, as Combat it is always worthwhile to keep SnD up (with regards to target count at least); the extra CP procs pay for the SS and SnD. Eg:
