How much is one point of each affix worth for damage?
Now that the Mystic has graced us with her presence, we can change a single affix on items. Trouble is, it's sometimes really hard to figure out how much each point is worth. Should I replace Attack Speed? Maybe my main stat? The only way to know currently is to replace it, and see how the damage changes. That's not at all optimal.
I know Crit Damage and Crit Chance synergize, and Attack Speed kind of dumps itself on top of that as well, so a formula to calculate that would be very useful.
I'm not looking for those affixes that add elemental damage, or damage to a specific skill; those are a straight percentage increase to damage. Just the ones that make up your damage stat on your character screen. I'm aware it's not really possible to calculate true DPS in anything approaching reasonableness.
For any item type, what affixes contribute to damage, and how much would a single point add to damage?

The (advanced) formula to calculate damage is this:
DMG = (AWD x (WS + AS / 100 x WS) x PS / 100 x CC / 100 x (CHD + 100) / 100) + (AWD x (WS + AS / 100 x WS) x PS / 100 x (1 - CC / 100))
DMG = Damage you will do
AWD = Average Weapon Damage (don't forget to include your offhand and other items with + average damage)
AS = Attack speed Increase as it is in the Details Tab (10% attack speed = insert 10 into formula)
WS = default Weapon speed
PS = Primary stat (Int for WD and Wizard, ...)
CC = Crit chance (10% crit chance = insert 10 into formula)
CHD = Crit Hit Damage (100% crit hit damage = insert 100 into formula)

Enter your character then look at the sheet. At bottom you have some DPS calculator, it doesn't take everything into account, but it does tell you how much each point is worth for the most common stats:
Like, for my character, something like that :
- 1.00% +Arcane Skills Damage gives you 7,658.07 dps
- 1.00% Critical Hit Chance gives you 13,988.38 dps
- 1.00% Critical Damage gives you 2,118.24 dps
- 1.00% Attack Speed gives you 8,644.34 dps
- 100 Intelligence gives you 13,424.15 dps
I believe that's what you are searching for, am I right?
