Some other differences to consider:
sword spec will proc off hamstring - may or may not be a significant difference depending on playstyle. you could assume x hamstrings per min and then just factor x/20 extra swings into sword spec calcs.
Axe spec benefits from more rage in two ways- sword spec resets swing timer removing on average 1/2 a swing's rage every proc. And axe spec increases auto attack crit by 5% giving 5% more rage plus added rage from the extra impale damage.
Axe spec has a better flurry uptime due to the fact that double crits from sword spec and the attack it proced off dont affect flurry much. And flurry will proc off hamstring while a non crit hamstring procing a non crit sword spec doesn not proc flurry.
Personally id say the best way of evaluating is to do some numbers and then have a pro/con list along with them along with maybe some situational number calcs like how SS will crit along with the attack it proced off etc.
