The slow auto attack shouldn't really matter anyways since all you're doing is last hitting and harassing is mainly done with Q and E.
Let me put forth a situation to put the problem into perspective.
On one hand, you can click on something to instantly deal 50 damage. You can only do this every 1.5 seconds, so don't spam it. But when you click on a minion that's low, BAM gold is earned at the moment you clicked.
On the other hand, say you have the same situation as above, except it takes 2 seconds for the 50 damage to happen. Can you farm as well as you did before? A lot can happen between those two seconds, such as minions focusing something else, causing your prediction of damage flow to become false. Someone else, perhaps even your lane partner, could click on the minion at the same time you did, and deal the killing blow faster than you can, even though you both have the same attack speed.
While I'm at it, have you tried last-hitting with the likes of Soraka and Anivia? My last-hitting in laning phase with those two is pretty bad, but whenever I'm Ashe, I last-hit like a boss. Also, dagger is a bad starting item, and doesn't get you as much farm as a long sword does.
