DPH does not triumph over all and sometimes DPS is needed, i can't really give any spoilers but some situations DPH can be a hassle.

DPH can win the whole game when you can use it right but so can DPS, this really depends on what you like.

So to answer your question DPH is slow and requires to to hit the enemy though when you do you staggerlock them(Big ass swords, axes and clubs). DPS is more with quicker weaps and allows you to get in and out very quickly and normally has a low cost of stamina (straight, curved swords, rapiers, spears)

Bottom line, stick to what you do best as these are all my opinions
