Between the two the OP is talking about there is only a 14 DPS difference on the weapons. You really need to look at the min/max damage of each weapon, Zod's hits for more on the high end but less on the low end. Xbow has green stats, Zods Heroic has the extra auto-shot plus a gem slot.
With the extra stats plus the better "average" damage the Xbow is probably going to win out for most people. Zods Heroic would need to constantly hit on the higher end of it's damage to put out more DPS then the LK Xbow plus the stats on the Xbow affect our shots now more. Someone who is Marks with high lvls of Mastery may see Zods do better for them since so much of their damage is based on auto-shots. Yes the Mastery doesn't affect the extra shot from Zods but again most of Marks damage comes from auto-shots and those are still based on weapon damage.
