    Mages, Rogues, and Warriors should always make damage their priority over DPS. Skill attacks are based on your damage and not your DPS. So unless you are using the normal attack over your skills, always go for damage.

    That being said, its good to have both types of weapons in your arsenal for whatever situation you might need. check out the warrior discussion thread for lots of information on warrior builds that should help clear things up.

    It depends on your skill build. For example....

    My regular PvE build uses 3 offensive skills and shield. Since I have 3 offensive skills, I rarely need to use my weapon attack, so damage is better than dps.

    However, I also sometimes use a flagging build which is mostly a defensive build with only 1 offensive skill. In that build, I use the weapon attack much more often, so a DPS weapon works better.

    If you use your weapon attack much more than your skill attacks, then go for DPS. If you use your attack skills more often, then go for damage.
