Sounds about right. 1d+6 imp means doing between 7 and 12 damage, for 7 and 12 injury against targets where WM gets downgraded to x1. 1d+4 cut means doing between 5 and 10 damage, but that becomes 7 and 15 injury, as WM would still be x1.5.

Without Edge Protection in play, you'll probably want to switch back to impaling at DR 4 (3-8, average 5.5 injury vs 1-9, average 5). With Edge Protection in play, you'll probably want to switch back at DR 3 (injury there is 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, average 6.5 for impaling; 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, average 6.17 for cutting).
