The first anon's calculation was:
 * ( -49 / ( -49 + 100 ) ) ) = 96.07% Damage Increase

The denominator, however, needs to be the Absolute Value of Magic Resistance, not the Actual Value. Correctly it would be:
 * ( -49 / ( 49 + 100 ) ) ) = 32.89% Damage Increase

Your comparing the 77 damage dealt against a 30 MR target to the 133 damage against a -49 MR target. While that is correct, a better and more accurate comparison is Theoretical Damage vs Actual Damage.
