Lacerate PoE Build Gladiator

Lacerate Lacerate is a melee attack skill that performs two slashes: one aimed just to the left, then one just to the right. The slashes damage all enemies in a cone in front of the attacker. Each slash does less damage than a single hit from Cleave Cleave, but the two slashes overlap in the middle, hitting enemies in front twice.

Slashes twice, releasing waves of force that damage enemies they hit. Enemies in the middle of the slashes can be hit by both. The slashes will have a chance to inflict bleeding in Blood Stance, or have a wider angle in Sand Stance, Can be used with Axes and Swords. You are in Blood Stance by default.

Attack, AoE, Physical, Melee. Level: 1–20. Cost: 8 Mana. Attack Speed: 60% of base. Attack Damage: 100–154% of base. Effectiveness of Added Damage: 100–154%. Requires Level 12.

How do Wings of Entropy, Lacerate, and Outmatch/Outlast from Duelist interact with each other?

Lacerate when dual wielding always does a main-hand hit followed by an off-hand hit.

What exactly does the tooltip DPS on Lacerate and Double Strike mean? Do these account for a hit both swings, discounted by accuracy/crit/etc ?

Yes, they include all those things.
