TL;DR - The F&R act as a multiplier to your other damage types. If you are losing 9 discipline, let's say you go from 109 to 100 discipline (with no other multipliers). In scenario one (SoJ) you have 109x40% added damage or 4360% damage. In 2, (F&R with 100 discipline) you have 4000% damage, but it is multiplied by Focus buff so 1.5x4000% - 6000% and then buffed by Restraint so 1.5x6000% = 9000%.
Clearly F&R provide significantly more damage, and it is because of how damage is calculated.
