I found a couple of bows this weekend that had over 1k damage rating and realized that I had no idea what I was looking for. Luckily, I downloaded the DH spreadsheet from this board and it worked great. Seriously, if you're not using this spreadsheet than you're probably making mistakes.
Take a look at the attachment and you can see my dilema. My bow, on the right, is over 200 damage less than the bow on the left, but the Dex is considerably higher and it had crit damage vs the IaS from the other bow.
So, which do you think is better? I was shocked to see from the spreadsheet that my existing bow had slightly higher DPS, and my defense was better because of the higher Dex dodge and Int.
Do you have a solid bit of crit? If so that crit damage increase will help you quite a bit. Add that in with the dex and it makes a bit of sense. As long as its just a slight bit more on the old one. Main stats really do add quite a bit of dps/defense. I lost a bit of strength the other day and went down 500dps on my character sheet. Was a bit surprised myself.

They were very close on DPS... like only 200 damage difference. I'm going to experiment with changing out some other equipment to see how it impacts the crit damage. This made me realize that the impact of Dex is really higher than I thought.
