I don't buy that. I've seen this formula ((2dmg+damage bonus)/delay) rolled out for all levels on any class. It obviously has no consideration for skills, damage tables and so on(all of which depend on level/class and will skew the relative importance of dmg and damage bonus).

True, but mob AC skewers the importance of dmg vs damage bonus (the balance of which is the entire purpose of this formula).
This formula seems to provide a useful guideline certainly. However, I am wary of trusting it to be within few % accuracy, especially when deciding between weapons with wildly different delays.
It's always banded around, but never evidenced. I'd like to see how it compares to parses.
