I could be wrong...

BUT last time there was a similar question (about Death's Oath) the answer was about "No, passive tree increases damage YOU do, thorns/death's oath aura damage is done by the item and hence the nodes won't increase the damage".

By this line of reasoning, the damage on iron rings wouldn't be affected by physical damage modifiers on the passive tree. I believe you are wrong about the correlation here, I do recall reading about the damage aura of Death's Oath, but that is an active effect resulting from an item, not a modifier.

iron ring and etc add damage to your weapon.

you do damage with your skills via a weapon, hence it is modified.

reflect damage on the other hand isn't "added" anywhere for it to be multiplied.

my DD build has +82% increased damage and my viper one is at about 160%, the damage differance (2 and a half times more) would be visible, it is not.
