I'll hold of saying this is absolute fact, because I don't know the result of the .1 DPS increase on your other stats. (It may only be significant if you've capped STR and VIT.)

Flame Lieutenant's Axe:

Attack Power : +25, Defense : +5, Flame gear set (5): Accuracy +20
DPS: 4.3

Flame Sergeant's Axe:
HP : +50, Sanction: Attack Power +45
DPS: 4.2

For sanction, you don't have to compromise your other gear. Having said that, what I'd like to see is some parse results using the same other pieces of gear (only changing the axe) because the Lieutenant's axe does have higher DPS than the sergeant's axe, which we know increases stat caps.
Do you have to wear all 5 of the LT. GC set or any piece from your GC that amounts to 5 including weapon?
