I've been looking to upgrade my gear slowly, starting with my weapon. I've been looking at AH but I'm a bit uncertain as to how I should read out the differeces in DPS. The following SS show a Manticore that has higher stats than my current.
I can't really imagine that my current Manticore is the better one, but I guess that both crit chance and crit damage is taken into account.
So how can I determine if a certain piece of equipment really IS an improvement in DPS? This is my profile.

So The first one is far better. However I recommend to NEVER put vitality on a weapon. Your weapon is your main source of DPS (as every stats is based on the DPS of your weapon). This means that you need only DPS stats on your weapon (Socket for emerald, Crit chance, Crit damage, Dext). Furthermore, if you ever need to replace your Manticore, you'll loose 100 vitality and will have to find it elsewhere.
Whenever you want to see your real eDPS (effective DPS) change go here : Character calculator. On the right part : Select your sever > Put your battletag > select the character you want to test > click on "Create Build" > Simulate Gear > Select your manticore and edit the stats. While doing this on the right you will see the evolution of your eDPS depending on the weapon stats.
I've just tested and you gain ~2500 dps and ~17500 eHP
