Attack speed is better for fast base weapons. Honestly 1h daggers (not ceremonial knives) are the best for attack speed since they are 1.5 base speed. For 2H you want crit and crit damage. I've been using a dagger + thing of the deep with lots of attack speed and the dps is perfectly fine for me, but if you want to see huge numbers it's not right for you. Also, if you go the fast attack speed route it's good to get chance on hit to CC stuff (fear on helm, blind on ammy, stun on gloves) and it's a lot cheaper than resist all gear. I'm running with flaming dart, fire locusts, grasp of the dead (the extra slow one), soul harvest/spirit walk, and leeching beast zombie dogs. I use Pierce the Veil since the mana drain with my build is practically zero, gruesome feast for more DPS (and because my pickup radius is 45 yards) and grave injustice for more grasps, faster dog respawn, more spirit walk, and more 5 stack soul harvests (and also, with a 45 yard pickup radius it's pretty fun).
WD is a versatile character, I've been playing mine since beta and release, and nothing compares for fun. I'm squishy, and die really easily, especially above MP6, but mobs don't really hit me all that much, and with enough LOH and life steal it's easy to get back the health I lose.
Honestly I think just play around with some stuff, see what you enjoy. What's the point if you're not having fun? Here's my profile:

I doubt there are many people using a similar build, but I really enjoy it
