Theorycraft is called theory craft for a reason, it is not necessarily an accurate representation of real WoW. The spreadsheet assumes ideal conditions, so I'd use it as a guide. For example, I'm...

Your methods are basically the same, except that having 122 hit would let you use 20 agi food for trash and 20 hit food for bosses, if you're really looking to min/max. For boss fights, they're...

I agree with you on trying to get a 2.1 speed auto-shot time, since that seems to work well for weaving.

However, a possible advantage to the less hasted build is that you get more benefit from...

If you're running out of mana (assuming chugging mana pots as needed) before the fight is over, Wisdom > Salvation.

If you're not running out of mana, Salvation > Wisdom.

You're quite right in that it currently normalizes everything to DPS, and so you can calculate the effectiveness of each piece by multiplying through by the respective DPS coefficient.

MD is great to let the tank establish aggro from the start. It can save healers that have big heals land on the pull, and can save over-zealous DPS that start a sec too soon. When tanks are pushing...

Are these working for you, then? For me, they don't reflect the stats based off the gear I put in. Simplest example is that +hit offers a DPS increase for me while I'm hit capped.

It's not so much that there's a lack of progression in 5 mans, as that it's too fast / easy.
