Some Nightblade beginner questions

I did some studying of the game guides, and most of my questions have been answered. Some, however, still remain, and in some cases I would simply appreciate a confirmation that I understood everything correctly.

Most of my questions are centered around the Nightblade mastery.

1) Does Dual Blades and the following skills in that line (Belgothian Shears to Execution) only enhance and trigger off regular attacks, or do they also work with skills like e.g. Cadence and Fire Strike? If yes to the latter, which such skills are actually a good idea to combine with Dual blades?

2) Am I correct in understanding the game guide that in case of multiple 'Chance to be used' effects they are not triggered independently but build a hit table of sorts? So at most one of them is used and if their 'chance to be used' probabilities add up to at least 100% I am guaranteed exactly one such trigger per attack? The corollary to that would be that it is a bad idea to ever have more than 5 'Chance to be used' skills (maxed out at 20%), since when going over 100% the trigger chance of each would be reduced proportionally and as a result the best ones would trigger less often.

3) Am I correct in understanding the game guide that for example 'Converts X% of physical damage to fire damage' is applied before '+Y% fire damage' and '+Z% physical damage', so having a build that focused on '+Y% physical damage' it would be detrimental to equip an item with 'Converts X% of physical damage to fire damage'?
