Enchant Weapon Property: Favor Attack Speed or % Damage?

So I got this new weapon:

However, it lacks a socket, so I need to replace a primary attribute with a socket. My question is which primary property should I replace? It comes down to increased attack speed or an additional percentage of damage. On a more general note, on a weapon, sould I go for attack speed or %damage ?
