Stats vs. DPS on melee weapons.

How big of an impact do stats vs. DPS make? I currently MH a Crul and OH a DFB, crusader enchant on both weapons, but keep hearing about getting Doom's Edge as my OH. I'm a Troll warrior, so don't have the racial + axes orcs do, and basically I'm just wondering how the extra 18 AP trades off against the 3.8 DPS increase from the DFB. Does other gear enter the equation as well, other stats like crit / current total AP /+hit / etc? I like the DFB because it has more stamina as well, it's just we've had 3 Doom's Edge drops in the last 3 weeks, I passed on all 3 since I already had DFB, people keep asking why I'm not bidding on them, and I'm thinking of picking up the next one to drop.

If something like this has already been posted, by all means let me know and I'll delete this post.

Normal users can't delete posts, but you can edit them.

Use the dps warrior spreadsheet from Deathwing, and look at what happens when you swap OH weaps, it really depends on other gear what will happen, and the spreadsheet attempts to take this in to effect.

Yeah, "Is Weapon X or Weapon Y better for Class Z?" has been covered extensively with lots of spreadsheets and math to back it up. Check the threads linked in the sticky referenced above.
