Enchant Property: Damage vs. Attack Speed %

There is a similar question about enchant properties for weapons, however I would want to know what should I favor on a ring(and other items): Average Damage or Attack Speed %?

Here's an example of an item:

I know it depends on the other items and the build itself, however what is the basic(or advanced) formula for calculating damage output?

What is better attack speed or damage?

Increasing attack speed also means more chances for crits, which is part of the reason that your Damage seems to increase more than it should. The one case where it doesn't help is with Damage over Time spells.

Is more attack speed better?

Short Answer: No. Because attack speed is based on attacks per second and additive, a bonus to attack speed will affect fast and slow weapons equally. Some basic maths can be used to demonstrate this.
