The scaling estimated by the formula shows will normally fall within the correct category (e.g. the Club example on the Parameter Bonus page). Also, by using the weapon two-handed, it does effectively increase the amount of Strength scaling rating (as shown on the Parameter Bonus page), which is why you got slightly different numbers.

Anyway, I honestly have no clue what's going on with the scaling of the Cursed Greatsword, since its AR seems to be ridiculously high for what is essentially just a straight STR/DEX, especially in comparison to similar weapons like the Abyss Greatsword.

Let's just leave the math component of this discussion here, since the only reason I put up the results of my calculations was to show that for characters with more balanced attack stats, the Cursed Greatsword will eventually do more damage than the Black Knight Sword due to its greater Dexterity scaling. For Strength-focused builds, though, I agree that with you that the Black Knight Sword is better than the Cursed Greatsword.
