I think the difference in energy cost more than makes up for the difference in damage for most currently obtainable values of AP and weapon speed. GS would have to do (40/35 = 1.142) 14.2% more damage in order to have a higher DPE than hemo, and with a 2.8 speed weapon you only get (2.8/2.4 = 1.166) 16.7% more damage from AP. So (and I had to do this last bit on an envelope with a borrowed pen, so it's a bit suspect) your damage from AP would have to be 5.68 times your weapon's damage in order for GS to have more DPE. For a Warglaive of Azzinoth, the only 2.8 speed sword worth using that I know of, that would be 24,333AP.
Even if the DPE were equal, a pure hemo cycle is a little tighter (more cp/energy) so hemo would still edge it out.
GS is only worthwhile for the dodge, but I'm told that the dodge is pretty nice for soloing.
