I did a post on 1h vs 2h DPS for my 52 Monk. In the low 50s 1h combos can out DPS 2h weapons. This is because the 2h damage bonus is smaller. My Epic Fist + SoS was out DPSing an IFS when I wasn't fistweaving. They were very similar when fistweaving. Rangers can't fistweave, so it wouldn't surprise me if something like Wurmslayer + Swiftwind could out-DPS a Woodsman Staff at 52.

Your combat model is neither useful nor accurate. The difference between your estimate for the FM giants (34 vs 34.34) and your actual parsed results (30.67 DPS vs 31.5) is larger than the difference between the two sets of weapons. You also need to use the actual results (when you scale your Coroduth numbers by 30.67 / 55.7 to find that "mitigation offset" number). Any approach that needs the actual results when making an estimate is, to use a technical term, fucked beyond redemption.
It's both simpler and just as accurate to just calculate (2*damage + damage bonus) / delay as a way to compare different weapons. And if that gives you a result where two weapon-sets come out within a DPS or two, you can either treat them as equivalent or do the actual parsing to confirm.
