DPS is, in resume, calculated by calculating how much damage you do in one attack and dividing it by the time taken to do it.
To know the point at which a stronger slower weapon is better than a weaker and faster you just need to solve this equation:
(Damage with slower weapon with X attack)/(Attack speed of slower weapon) = (Damage with faster weapon with Y attack)/(Attack speed of faster weapon)
You'll get a relationship of how much X has to be for a certain Y. Then you just input a value either for X or Y and you'll have how much attack is need on the other one.
