Has anyone taken into account speed and action buffs dung testing of these two stats? AllI have seen is generic this weapon fires this many times and that wepon fires this many times so DPS means nothing.
1) I do have to sayDPS should matter if you are using default action as it uses no or little action. (such as jedi firing adv laser at out of range BH) Has anyone tested this?
2) I agree that low sac is a valuable stat but I have not seen conclusive testing that takes into account all the factors involved in determining true maximum possible DPS or DPA with a buffed, full stomach dual master(whatever). This would be difficult to document and its value is somewhat dependant on the HAM of the MOB being attacked.
In the end I think there is definate place for both types, dual masters and soloers will benifit from low SAC weapns while group hunters and those using default action benefit from high DPS.

Indeed. Cap em all out and be sort3d! 
Matrix style rant:
In ze end it is all about causality waffle here, waffle there. Ergo we shall all strive to do the best with the waffles the waffle lord has given us, concordantly waffles will be served by the devs for waffles. Viz a vi, cause and effect? Simple no?
Seriously, everything should be taken into account.
