I think it's pretty firmly established that Relentless Earthstorm Diamond is the best DPS.
Many of us really like having 5% run speed, though; it can be the difference between life and death on a Shatter or a Pounding. So the comparison then is between Swift Skyfire + Enchant Boots: Dexterity (24 AP, 5% run speed, 12 AGI) and Relentless Earthstorm + Enchant Boots: Boar's Speed (12 AGI, 3% crit damage, 5% run speed, 9 STA). In DPS terms then you are comparing 24 AP to 3% crit damage. Have we seen this direct comparison?
I guess for completeness we could also consider Enchant Boots: Surefooted, but that should be exclusively worse for DPS than Enchant Boots: Dexterity, you are only getting that 5% snare/root resist; to me that's of more limited use compared to the run speed.
