How important is attack speed with LoH for a barb using frenzy atm?
IE:
1050 dps 1-hander, 1.2 AS, 800 Loh, Socket for more Loh
vs
900 dps 1-hander, 1.45 AS, 750 Loh
(Atm its for 1-hander + shield and transitioning into dual wield when I can)

Agreed, the slower one is better because of the socket, assuming identical other stats (and those other stats could make a difference). Frenzy has a 0.75 LoH coefficient, by the way. Still really good, and the best ability for max LoH.
Also, once you get better gear and you feel like you can drop some defensives, you can get another weapon with nice LoH and dual-wield with lots of IAS and do a nice Infinite WotB build.
LoH is an incredibly over rated stat and that bubble will burst soon. I can farm the entirety of act 3 with 0 LoH in an hour dieing 0-2 times.Stack Lifesteal/crit/crit dmg while maintaining a decent amount of str/vit/all res.
Get the shield core (27%+ Block shield, Justice Lantern, Helm of command), and the best socketed one hander you can find.
Enjoy your insanely fast farm as the derpaderps stack LoH/IaS when revenge breaks IaS's usefulness.

800 LoH on slow weapon was without anything in the socket.

Oh yeah and Life per Second is amazing, and way undervalued right now.
