Proc rate is a percentage over a given timeframe. DEX helps increase the rate of procs per timeframe. When people refer to slower weapons procing more and haste making a weapon proc less, they are talking procs per swing.

You are neither procing more nor less when swinging faster or slower, you are procing more or less -per swing-.

In the previoius Earthshaker example, it was simply luck of the random number generator (or bad coding that increased the percent chance in order to meet a threshold over a given time given the rate of swings). Had that person been swinging at normal speed with that weapon, they should have the same number of procs over period of time, just not as many per swing.
