All procs are PPM. Procs per minute. Slow swings = higher proc chance per cycle. Fast weapons = less chance per cycle. No weapons proc more or less per minute. It’s only really a thing if you can joust the npc but that’s more solo and duel stuff, and only if you are turning off attack and cycling it back on. Slowing/torping yourself is ideal if trying for a one or two swing proc like off a Stalking Probe. I unequip haste and equip my Earthshaker if I want to save arrows proccing my Primal bow.
Self-cast proc spells like Divine Might, Call of Fire, Shroud of Death trigger substantially more often than weapons.
The reason why this is bad gearing advice is dps proc weapons by and large are mariginal outside a select few. For the warrior the Gaudralek for example. Even blood points are rather garbage ratio compared to a Reaver but who expected them to keep up with city leader Velious gear?
Dex will affect crits/crips but again, very little compared to just gearing to take hits. Unless you are comparing like a Silver Disk to Aary neck, or White Dragon helm vs KT Crown and have BiS aggro weapons I wouldn’t bother yourself much.
If you are trying to keep aggro off a shaman that’s easy: Pull with slow or have them wait for a few swings before they cast. Or let the warrior aggro two, root one, then slow stuff. Get a 2h and just chop up the world.
