You only run 500 samples in your simulation. You can see if you repeatedly hit the submit button that the resulting DPS estimation jumps around quite a bit. With the default values and hitting submit a dozen times I got values from 28 to 33 DPS. Something from 50,000 to 1 million would be more reasonable imo, depending on the impact to runtime.
It does nicely illustrate, though, that if you want to distinguish between two sets of weapons with DPS values that are within 2-3 DPS of each other, you need more than 500 samples to accurately tell which one is better.

There are limitations on websites like playcode.io for how many times you can run a single loop before it catches it as a possible infinite loop. playcode.io has a loop limit of 1500, and when you have double attacks and dual wield, you'll get well over 1000 hits. That is why it is set to 500 for now. Looks like you found a way to get the data you need by just pressing the play button a few times. If the site allows I may run multiple sets of 500 samples and average them.
