12.28 x 12.28 is 151, not 145.
If you're using pokemon that are weak so you need to be efficient with HP, you have to dodge which DPS x EPS doesn't account for, and EPS is kind of useless because you won't be using charge moves when they're available, you'll be using them after your opponent uses theirs.
If you're using a pokemon that is so far above the defender that it's attacking that you're able to just spam quick move > charge move ad infinitum without needing to dodge, then it doesn't really matter what moves you use.
Opponents attack slow enough that even the lowest EPS moves on an attacker will probably gain energy faster than a defender with the best D_EPS move.
