So since I already have 64% physical damage, would it still be the best choice to roll off the strength for CHC? I think that elemental damage becomes weaker the more one has?
I don't think it a matter that it's incrementally weaker. The issue is that you have relatively low CHC and if you lose the 9% CHC from your neck, it's further diminished. Right now you have 34.5 CHC. So if you take the 9% hit you are at 25.5%. The 9% is over 25% of your Crit Multiplier. So you'll lose a lot of damage. The 20% is maxed, so if you were to use this so this is 12.2% increase (1-1.84/1.64) in damage. Your strength is 8253 so you would lose about 10.7% (1-(8853-883)/8853) if you rolled off Strength. So you would benefit most by rolling that off for a +1.5% trade. Then roll on 10% CHC. This would be a 0.01*current CHD + 19% (.365*.54) increase. So at least a 20.5% increase if you roll off Strength for max CHC. So don't roll off Elemental.
If you have a perf compact rose you will hit /crit harder but not against elites (assuming u dis soj and keep unity). Generally at those levels bonus % dmg is a ~ 5% increase over str.
You incremental damage for the 20% is not a 20%buff for elemental skills. It's additive, so that's why it's reduced to the 12.2% buff. You strength is additive with well, your other strength. You have a lot of strength through gearing, paragon and gems. These are both multipliers against your weapon damage, so you can directly compare their multiplicative effects. Mind you, you will add strength through XP. XP won't get you elemental buffs, so the 12.2% buff will further buff you paragon adds. You get 5 for every 4 paragon. So you now you will get an effective 6.1 point buff this way as well.
So yes, definitely better to roll off strength short term and long term. But you need the ring to be as good as your other ring. This was not any part of my calculations.

First off, this is my current gear: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Xedriell-2582/hero/55464684
I want to use a compass rose and this amulet: http://i.imgur.com/7gIedST.jpg

Yes, you roll the Strength off for 10% CHC. No question about it.

So although I already have 64% physical damage, the 20% are still better than ~700 strength?
