Does movement speed affect DPS of movement skills?
... like leap slam or cyclone (bonuses on gear to movement speed)?

No, unless the execution speed of the skill is affected by movement speed and that's the case only for lightning warp.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

What about this line (cyclone description from the wiki):
" Wouldn't 'start another Cyclone sooner' mean more damage? IGN: AlCohonez, GhengizCohen

Think of cyclone as an AoE that pulsates at 160% of your attack speed and moves at 70% of your move speed. Moving faster doesn't change its pulse frequency, they are entirely separate, with low move speed you save mana and with high move speed you get more control.

But movement speed affects cyclones dps, no tool tip, but definitely kill speed. Just test it on atr and/or with movement flask. U do same dmg in shorter time, meaning more dps. If u use flask on boss, i kill it faster.

It's possible you're doing the cyclone stutter trick with really high move speed. They did something about that but it seems it's still possible, just a bit harder to pull off.

So why do people insist on getting movement bonuses for cyclone? You just apply the damage more efficiently over distance if you move quicker with cyclone?

Without movespeed, Cyclone moves really really slowly, and its AoE is actually not good unless you're a certain character named Katrina. Without movespeed, your clear speed just isn't good because it takes a while to move from one side of a pack to the other.

Since Cyclone was changed to deal damage immediately when used high movement speed definitely increases its dps/clear speed even against stationary single targets.

agree with Raics.
the real-time DPS of Cyclone isn't affected by Movement Speed bonuses in terms of game mechanics, but it is affected by what the player can do with the extra control Moment Speed grants. you can click and hit the same target again faster, so you have more DPS against it.
