I believe Stereo once stated that you gain approximately 8% DPS for every attack level. So, figure that the common 1H sword is Fast(5) versus 2H Sword's Normal(6).
1.2 * 1.08 = 1.296
So it is slightly weaker unless you can get a Fast(4) sword. The entire benefit of a 1H sword is that you get the shield which can also be potentialed.
Also, DPS means less and less as you get higher in levels anyway. At higher levels you want to prevent overkill. For example, if it takes two swings from a 1H sword or two swings from a 2H sword, the attack and DPS of the swords are irrelevant. You're going to want the 1H sword because it will kill faster, not necessarily because of the DPS. On the contrary, if it takes 1 hit with 2H sword and 2 hits with a 1H sword, you're always going to want to pick the 2H sword.
So, I really have to ask, "Why do you want to know?" Picking either sword solely based on DPS doesn't work, especially at your 13x level.
