Why would you suggest Keen Ring in WS set for Pummel?
For the Att of course, altough I guess the acc is a nice bonus too.
Generally attack provides better results than STR on most multi-hit WS, and that's especially true if there's a lot of hits in the WS and if the WS modifiers are small.
It's kinda the case with Pummel.
Of course it would be a different story were you at capped attack but really, when are you ever?
Don't have data to confirm what I said about Keen > Spiral but I'm particularly confident that my memory isn't tricking me on this, at least for Pummel.
For Smite it might be a different story, especially if you get a +7 STR ring (not so sure about Spiral instead)

I was using Soil Gorget in WS set but found Chiv. Chain gave constant numbers and all my hits landed.
I find it unlikely tbh. Elemental gorget provides more acc and more damage. You could argue the ftp modifier applies to the first hit only whereas the +3 STR applies to all the 6 hits, but even so I really really doubt Chiv > Gorget for Pummel.
If you're really curious I can test it later. Were you parsing data accurately or just eyeballing? Faith might be ok (maybe even better) for Pummel, if it brings you up a h2h tier, and I guess Agasaya's not bad either, but I have serious doubts on Chiv chain.

Also I don't have the expansion helm as I been lazy and not completed the missions.
MKE are possibly the most annoying/HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE missions of the 3 miniexp, don't let me think about it... but I think you might reconsider and do them. At level 90 the BCs aren't as hard as they used to be ("were they ever?" someone could say) and the helm is really awesome for WSs.

Also I use 3 different H2H for different situations. I use the Maroetts for Abyssea with the refresh/regen for Puppet. I use Furor if I'm in a pt or straight DD situation. I don't have the other but am looking to get those eventually.
Burattinaios aren't what they used to be... but even so they should still be pretty nice. I use marotte when I'm on mage puppet and I'm not meleeing, because I'm lazy and I don't have the Pet: Mab claws :P
Haven't bothered with them, but if you like to use your mage puppet you should really consider the option. Think ice element trial paths aren't that hard... did it for a MAB Katana on NIN and even a lazy bum like me managed to burn through the mobs in like 2 days?
