I've collected quite a few guantlets in ttk, I have the legendary arms for ToO, IB, Kings Fall, Dead Orbit(hunter), New Monarchy (Warlock), Future War Cult (Titan), & the sublime engram arms. I also have all the exotic arms for each class.
On my hunter specifically, I've noticed that none of the guantlets with the "increased melee attack speed" perk display on them when scrolling over their icon actually have that perk.
I don't believe I've actually seen any legendary or exotic gauntlets since ttk that actually have increased melee attack speed for a hunter.

well it was always a bug, switchblade perk wich increased melee attack speed was a typo. they never made you attack faster, i know the creators ment to say was decrease melee cooldown time... they just chose the wrong words, increase melee attack speed= decrease melee cooldown speed, they actuall changed it in ttk it is now decreased melee cooldown time
