It's the number of seconds between swings.
1.7 is faster than 3.40

Be careful with this advice. DPS is not always the most important stat. There are many special talents/skills that play off weapon speed, and have nothing to do with DPS. So for some classes, DPS is important. For others, Weapon speed is important. For others, Weapon Damage is important. For others, it is other stats, such as +spell damage, + defense, + agil, etc... It depends on what class/spec you are, and what you are trying to do.
Since most caster weapons top out at 41dps (or thereabouts), I doubt anyone doing melee DPS would consider one, unless they are really daft. Still, that comparison is a bad one, since one of the weapons is not intended to be used for melee combat.
