Given that guarding is low commitment, I'm not sure any harsh punishment is in order, so the fact it applies before damage already should be good enough. More skills should be updated to apply this way I agree with that.
The damage differential of removing someone's 10% DR and replacing it with a 15% damage increased for that entire turn (including from all your allies) should be good enough I think. Guard Break is far more effective in team fights than in 1v1 situations, and thus makes it a bit hard to balance, I think it's current numbers are definitely fine and it's 1v1 utility can be increased far more than it's teamfight utility through the above methods.
