If you hold an axe and a sword with similar speed and attack values, you will destroy the enemies at the same rate. The issue is that many axes are Normal(6) or Slow(7), and all swords are Normal(6). This gives swords an unfair advantage, so most people will still use swords. There is now no difference between stab or slash (has this been fully confirmed yet?).
Also true for 1h swords and axes. The common speed amongst 1h swords is fast (5) while amongst 1h axes is normal (6). There are a few noteable weapons that might be worth using - just for looks:
Level 80 and 90 2h axes are normal (6)
Reverse 2h axe is normal (6)
Vip and Last 1h axes are fast (5)
Duck tube is fast (5) - it's a level 90 1h BW - but the speed might not be worth the average att base - a whopping 25 att (90 for tube) below a crushed skull (115 base).
Morningstar and 3rd unwelcomed guest 2h BWs - normal (6) 2h BWs. the visitor BW is 95 att base (average) - only 22 below reverse avg, 17 below level 110 weapon.
