Assuming the AI behavior is that one, and that all quick moves cast times are shorter than 1,5 seconds, then I agree with you, you should prioritize moves with the highest damage per cast, while defending a gym.
Also consider that no exact formula has been spotted yet for damage calculation, so the moves list might have to be rewritten in the future.

Defending a Arena
This page writes the ai is doing every 1,5 sec a move.
So dps moves are not important, since there is alwasy a cooldown for 1,5 sec. So the best moves for defending a Arena are the ones with the highest damage per 1 hit ( not dps ), right? Or did i missunderstand something.

You're right (regarding the top comment), there could be a base amount added to each attack (to effect a minimum if a level 1 Caterpie attacks a level 40 Cloyster), generally favoring the faster moves, I think.
Per the other question, the 1.5 second cooldown on defense favors higher damaging moves (as in the abstract at current higher damaging is always better) and slightly curves things toward the slower moves.
