This is a very good comparison of weapons and has helped me make a few decisions on how to equip with what I have when I've had it, but the math isn't quite there...

The actual equation for DPS would be quite a bit more complicated involving Hit Chance, Mob Defense, random #s for hits between min and max, etc. A few people at TSW and Monkly Business got into some pretty complex calcs and compared against empirical parses to come up with constants to skew accordingly. Problem with that is you only have comparisons at convenient levels (60, 65, 70, etc.) and generally assume max stats/skills.

You could get into that yourself if you assumed "max weapon dps" with a formula something like:
2H DPS = (WeaponDPS(1 + DA%))*k
DW 1H DPS = (PrimaryDPS(1 + DA%) + DW%(SecondaryDPS(1 + DA%)))*k

Where WeaponDPS = ((DMG*2)+DMG BONUS)/DELAY or a more complex formula involving weapon skill + str and all that. Don't know where p99s damage model is at atm.
Then your k factor would account for your hit rate, mob defense (in trials should probably parse against same mobs), specific level, and spectrum of damage.


TL;DR
