I'm not a Mathematician, but it seems to me that;

if you roll 1 Damage dice the chance of getting a 6 is "1 in 6" or 16.7%. So on a double damage roll you have 16.7% chance of getting 12 Damage points.

If you roll 2 Damage dice, the chance of getting a 12 is only 2.78%.

So you're far better off, in terms of maximum (and minimum) damage if you multiply rather than adding more dice.

I'm sure the mathematical types can either verify this or otherwise.
