There's more to choosing your runes than just raw DPS calculations, unsurprisingly (though I don't think you're saying otherwise). If anything, it has very little to do with it, since you're almost never allowed to just stand still and shoot at a target. Well, unless you're jungling, and incidentally attack speed runes are the best for a good majority of junglers at the moment.

Runes are for easing lasthitting and improving trading potential above increasing maximum DPS. The only laner I ever see regularly taking AS runes is Tryndamere because his crit and AD steroids are gigantic to start with.
