Forgive me if i'm missing something,but if you had for example 27 damage blade enchanted with 22 Fire damage that would be 49 damage per hit,right?

49 > 33

You like ****Spoilergoldbrand?spoiler**** hehe Tournament of the ten bloods was fun.

Anyhow I guess you have a point, but to keep your sword at par with Umbra you'd have to keep recharging it, and that's a drag.

Yep,the tournament was cool.I even got some neat arrows there

I don't mind recharging.I have Azura's Star,i allways trap souls and i'm allways full.

I know I've said it before, but also don't forget that the best base damage longsword (which goldbrand and/or daedric longsword fit) is really the best weapon. This is because if you are an expert at sneak, you get a 6x bonus for a hit. Umbra is a two-hand weapon which doesn't get the bonus. An enchanted longsword with a sneaky and strong blade character, you can easily get [28x6] + 22 = 190+ dmg in one hit!

you get a 6 times damage bonus at the apprentice level of sneak. Umbra was a 2-handed weapon (in Morrowind anyway) but they've made it a one handed weapon in OB, and at 125% it's attack is 33 so 33x6=198 damage (plus any poisons that may have been on the blade when you struck)
