I think CI via TPE would be the least desirable and Delta 777 BE service being in the middle. There just isn't much availability TPAC though, so I'm thinking TATL via CDG to NRT/ICN would yield more availability.
MPM+15% is not going to work. You need to be within the MPM, maybe 5% over will work. If you can find a DTW-ROR published fare routed TATL and a routing that fits its routing rules, you may be able to get it ticketed, but it's not something that anyone seems to be able to get done reliably.
