Yeah it's about -1 DPS in one slot, but the massive accuracy on top of that means that you can put an equivalent amount of actual damage stats in other slots. With some classes' gear choices that might be an unrealizable potential, but for DRGs in it's hard to come up with a gearset (or any plausible BiS with an accuracy cap) where Longinus is better. Unless you're already in the last phase of T13 and not running anywhere near enrage issues, I think you'll most likely find that a carbontwine used on the spear is still a significant (if not mindblowing) upgrade once you see where accuracy can be dropped.

As for the chest... it's practically a given you'll want that upgraded. So good, and you don't really have any choice about that until you have the chest drop anyway.

Source: I've always run my gear through a solver and made sure I was maximizing DPS gain per tome / upgrade item because I was getting owned on drops week after week.
