Hey, I know that with a 2.2 speed VK we will still hit @ 1 shot per second, what is the equation to determine the exact speed you will swing @ determining your VK speed and speed mod? I'm trying to get more dmg but higher speed still hitting the 1 / second cap. Any info is appreciated

From a FAQ by StGabriel:
final_delay = special_delay_multiplier * weapon_delay * (100 - speed_bonus)/100
- final_delay -- the delay you actually swing/fire at
- weapon_delay -- the delay listed on your weapon
- special_delay_multiplier -- a multiplier that depends on the special you are using, 1.0 when you are not using a special
- speed_bonus -- the speed bonus you have for the weapon you are using, as listed in your skills menu. This might also be modified by skill attachments.
This final_delay, is capped at 1 second. As you tend towards a 100 speed bonus you will move towards the 1 second speed cap.

When you get 100 speed bonusthe equation would always be 0... or 1 second because of the speed cap. Is this still a "bug" that is in the game? Or are we intended to use any attack with any VK every second?

Speed for everyone is capped at 1 second, you can never get faster than that. The fact that TKM has over 100 speed is a hold-over from before they capped the speed at 1.0s, evidently.

i dont think there was a time with no speed cap. i think it is a server issue that does not allow multiple attacks within a single second (at least something like that was said when pistoleers asked for a lower speed cap) - perhaps someone forgot the brawler speed mods when setting the tka speed mods?
and i think that formula is totally out of whack, it should be more like
final_delay = special_delay_multiplier * weapon_delay * 100 /(100 + speed_bonus)
that way a 100 speed mod would cut the delay in half instead of making each and every attack hit the speed cap.
anyway, there is still hope that the speed calculation is changed during the combat rework.

Right, but as a TKM with over 130 speed for skill mods, can I go ahead and use liek a 2.6 speed VK and not worry about hitting any slower?
