As you've discovered, with 12GB of RAM using a 2 or 3 multiply rule is
hardly reasonable.

Sorry?
That's a 36 GB swap ( 12 x 3 )?
So much memory at all.

Ideally you will pick a value based on testing your workload against the
actual machine in question.  Personally, I rarely allocate more than 4GB of
swap and never less than 512M with today's large disks.  If you're worried
about performance, you can stripe swap over multiple disks or disk arrays.

That's right.
