I know that the epic fist is ridiculously fast, but if you think about the amount of haste percentage that you have you benefit much more from the haste by having slower weps.

Adamantite Club - 67% haste = 14.970059880239521 delay

Epic Fist - 67% haste = 9.580838323353294

It does not matter how fast or slow the weapon is.

The delay reduction factor is the same, it does not matter what the delay of the weapon is.

10 delay weapon - 0% haste = 10 delay = 60 swings per minute
10 delay weapon - 100% haste = 5 delay = 120 swings per minute

20 delay weapon - 0% haste = 20 delay = 30 swings per minute
20 delay weapon - 100% haste = 10 delay = 60 swings per minute

Only the ratio of the weapon matters but as has been stated the damage bonus does increase the DPS on slower weapons because it is being applied more often.
