So things with a higher "Auto-attack" stat should do more damage if STR/DET are held equal…

Not necessarily.

We know we have base damage, we know base damage is multiplied with other stuff - for balance sake we do want base damage to be affected by Weapon Delay, else faster weapons would significantly outperform slower weapons (they apply base damage much more often).

Weapon stats have the following relation: AA_DMG == AA_Delay * WD / 3 - so whatever you do, AA_Delay has practically no impact on base damage after the /33 division in Dervys model.

Why does the formula work for Dragoons? Well - all their Heavensward Weapons are 2.8 speed.
