I've heard that a laser boat pilot with good skills can out dps a missile boat with good skills, exactly what skills are we talking about here? How can I optimize my laser dps?

Firstly, you should have some generic gunnery skills...
Advanced Weapons Upgrades IV (Maybe III)
Controlled Bursts IV
Gunnery V
Motion Prediction IV
Rapid Firing IV
Sharpshooter IV
Surgical Strike IV
Trajectory Analysis IV
Weapons Upgrades IV
Now, not all of these are absolutely required, but you should make an attempt to raise them as high as you can as these will tremendouly help your weapons.
Then you need to decide what ship you'll be using your lasers on, normally you want that ships skill trained to at least IV (increase DPS and/or decrease capacitor usage on lasers), after which you want the specific gun skill trained to IV to increase damage. If you want to completely specialize in lasers then you want to train up for T2 guns, which won't be too long if you've got all these prerequisites trained.
Now, if you're only starting I would *highly* suggest you go for annother weapons system. Amarr are the worst faction in the game right now since laser damage is absurdly low and hard to get. Go Gallente if you're focusing on PVP if you want to be the most competitive.

I've come to realize that lasers aren't.....as good as other weapon types, but I'm already a year into being Amarr, so I'm gonna stick with it.

Optimal laser skills?
All Laser-related gunnery skills (including Specs) and the secondary gunnery skills at level 5, of course  Then jump into an Armageddon, slap on some T2 turrets and Heat Sink IIs and off you go...
