As a DM I was going to rule in our home game that since the Elegant Strike is precision based damage that it would not get multiplied the way damage from Strength would be for a power attack. For example, an 18 strength, 16 dexterity Champion of Corellon with Elegant Strike while power attacking for 3 would do (4 * 2) + 3 in damage instead of (4 + 3) * 2.
In other words, I would be treating the dex based damage akin to extra dice damage instead of a straight modifier to damage. From a strict reading of the rules it looks like I should rule the other way. That the dex. based damage gets multiplied by times 2 with the strength based damage.

Elegant strike: You are able to place your attacks where they deal greater damage. You aply your dex bonus to damage rolls(in addition to any str bonus you may have).
