i did some testing and heres what came out
axe and sword have the same avg DPS with out skills, hammer has higher avg DPS with out skills than axe and sword
sword and axe 18~21 DPS
Hammer 25~30 DPS
I tested 3 bars of 4 skills per bar, you will find the skills on most bars of the attribute type
[skill]eviscerate[/skill][skill]executioner's strike[/skill][skill]agonizing chop[/skill][skill]furious axe[/skill]
[skill]devastating hammer[/skill][skill]crushing blow[/skill][skill]mighty blow[/skill][skill]heavy blow[/skill]
[skill]dragon slash[/skill][skill]sever artery[/skill][skill]gash[/skill][skill]final thrust[/skill]
I used all of them with a icy 15^50 mod, on the same target and ran the bars 5 times to make sure i didnt get a lucky crit. also used 8 strength and 12 in w/e attribute i was using.
The sword got 35~45 DPS
The hammer got 50~55 DPS
and the axe got 40~60 DPS
the best hit i got from the axe was 93 damage, the best with the hammer was 112 and the best with the sword was 102 "only if the target was under 50%HP on the last attack if not only 65"
so hammer has more DPS over all DPS but axe takes the win on spike damage.
I like both Axe and hammer my self cause of the type of war i run
If you are going to run a defensive war you may like sword better cause of skills like riposte, I think defensive wars are 100% useless to a group, blocking skills dont stop caster damage and thats what you need to "tank" most the time.
I like to run a offensive war. Most the time i use a hammer, knock downs can help the group a lot more then a lot of blocking skills. Knock downs slow down DPS on both casters and melee so it works on both types damage, Knock downs can also help the group kill things faster, like keeping a monk knocked down as your team rapes his friends.
heres some bars i use as a hammer war
[skill]earth shaker[/skill][skill]crushing blow[/skill][skill]mighty blow[/skill][skill]hammer bash[/skill][skill]counter blow[/skill][skill]flail[/skill][skill]enraging charge[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill]
[skill]devastating hammer[/skill][skill]crushing blow[/skill][skill]mighty blow[/skill][skill]heavy blow[/skill][skill]counter blow[/skill][skill]flail[/skill][skill]enraging charge[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill]
As for Axe the bar i run most the time is a shock axe
[skill]eviscerate[/skill][skill]executioner's strike[/skill][skill]agonizing chop[/skill][skill]frenzy[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill][skill]bull's strike[/skill][skill]enraging charge[/skill][skill]shock[/skill]

The sword got 35~45 DPS
The hammer got 45~50 DPS
and the axe got 40~60 DPS Sword build is full of fail since you got dragonslash and final thrust. Hammer Wars have KD, why you have irresistible blow also is odd for a derv hammer combo. Just saying you can't compare DPS with skills, since different weaponry have different outcomes.
Sword, hammer or axe have different out comes and different uses. Choosing sword, hammer or axe should depend on what build you are running as a team. eg. crip slash war + SA sin or shock axe and back breaker hammer.

i re did the hammer but its not a big jump just by about 5 DPS replaced bar with [skill]devastating hammer[/skill][skill]crushing blow[/skill][skill]mighty blow[/skill][skill]heavy blow[/skill]
