Unfortunately, that doesn't really cover the knockback part of things. Trouble is, if you try to represent, say, a 3d attack by linking Crushing Attack 1d + Corrosion Attack 1d + Burning Attack 1d, you're actually nerfing yourself because all of those attacks have to penetrate armor separately. Thus, I'd stick to using Corrosion Attack (Incendiary, +10%) as your actual damage, and if you want knockback, link Crushing Attack (Double Knockback, +20%; No Wounding, +50%) to it. That way, you're only inflicting knockback with it, and DR isn't even a factor.

This is essentially what I did for a mummified dragon in DF.
