As for weapon ratio, I haven't done a full study on this yet, but my belief (supported by the evidence I've seen from my parses) is that for two weapons with the same dmg/dly ratios, the lower delay weapon will out damage the higher delay weapon. This is due to the non-linear scaling nature of baseline dmg of each weapon.

So for your example Swiftwind should out damage a wurmslayer because it's got more chances to swing and should output more base damage.

There are a bunch of crazy people who think this works differently, but I haven't seen any evidence contrary to my belief.
I can't speak to +atk but for mainhand speed has a place in the preference calculation due to applying the flat damage bonus of 1 handers based on level more often.
