Ignore the speeds. Ignore the DPS. Just look at the damage ranges. Which one is higher? That's your best bet for instant-attack skills.
Am I missing something here?

Yes you are... attack power.
a 1.4 speed dagger gets:
AP * 1.4 / 14
added to it
and a 2.0 speed dagger gets:
AP * 2 / 14
added to it.
An example in addition to the example that vor lord layed out is when my rogue finished SM I got this sword:
Sword of Omen (Thundercats, HO!)
I replaced this sword (a reward for Blackfathom Deeps):
Outlaw Sabre
Despite the fact that Sword of Omen was higher raw damage (39 - 74, 56.5 avg vs. 35 - 67, 51 avg) The Outlaw Sabre would consistently hit for more damage with Sinister Strike because the Sword of Omen was just too fast. the difference in AP contribution was HUGE, plus Outlaw Sabre adds even more AP
Because the Sword of Omen is a full 35% extra DPS on the normal attacks, plus extra poison, it's still doing comparable or better damage. But, min-max damage is not the whole story, and I think that was the whole point of vor lord's post.
