Are you stupid? Look at the SP on the dagger alone compared to the staff

Wowsers. I thought it was bad when I hit 418 hit rating. I'd still say that the staff basically just gives you 1.6% crit rating which if we're honest is not really a stat that many elemental shaman have to worry to much about as I think without trying most of us easily get 30% crit. Spellpower is still the best stat for us and that would be why I'd go with the dagger + board combo. The only thing besides haste that helps us consistantly is spellpower since Crit is based on RNG. If you can pop two 39 spellpower JC only dragon's eye gems in the staff then it will be a bit closer to the combo not counting being able to put 1 of those same gems in the shield.
In the end it's up to you but your DPS would be better off with the combo as Spellpower is number 1 under hit for increasing our DPS. I wish the same luck to you that I'm starting to get so that you can start having alternatives that don't cost DPS for your extra hit rating gear.
Haxzor buddy, take a deep breath, and say "I'm shaman here me roar if you tick me off I'll beat your face in all the more.". Always makes me feel better but it is understandable to want to not take the 1 hander because of the hit if you are overcapped. We have so many posts that say going over hit cap is wasteful stats but few of them mention that it may happen and be necessary. Huggles Shaman buddies.
You'd be dropping 71 SP (not including shield) just because you're over the hit cap? This dagger is a good reason to drop some of those hit gems/gear in favour of haste/sp gear

Dagger and shield is indeed superior.
