Normally magic provide more damage than melee. but since magic damage need power/mana as fuel and melee doesnt need anything as fuel. so if your power/mana regen arent fast enough, magic damage dealer has longer down time than melee damage dealer. so even the bonus damage from HO are held constant, melee damage provide more reliable DPS than magic damage.
as a side note, more melee damage dealer normally has more HP/AC than magic damage dealer. so they can held longer if they got aggro'd.

berserker can only use 2handed weapons. so normally they dont have high dps.
