I'm going to be marginally helpful. With melee attacks, attack speed matters until something procs. I have no emperical evidence to support me but here is my experience:
Like spells generate a set amount of agro, a mob getting hit (regardless of damage) generates a set amount of agro. Faster weapons can make a difference, I just don't know how significant of one.

My monk with epic fist/SoS draws far faster aggro than monks I group with that have a T-staff. Unless they proc in the first 10s, and even then I can pull it back to me very quickly. So speed is definitely better than damage.
However, as others have stated, ROOT is best for ensuring the mob is damaging who you want it to. Any caster that pulls aggro can/should root it immediately to get it off them. (cept mages, heh). Even just the lowest lvl (lowest mana) root is usually enough until the mob drops.
