The title says it all. In PVP, would you go with 1h and a shield or a 2h staff? Does the shield help at all in blocking?
I just got my other shammy to 80 and want to start some PVP with both of them.

...I don't think you'll find anyone that recommends going without a shield.
In full pvp gear sitting at 17.8k armor (54% physical damage reduction), rogue can still chew through me rather quickly.
Taking away my shield and going with a staff and I'd be sitting at 8.8k armor and only have 27% physical damage reduction and rogues would love me even more.
Going without a shield is silly biz =P
Its kind of like asking if cloth is the way to go for pvp.
the staff offers no benefit over the shield, and buts your armor in half.
+ dagger / shield is more SP then staff.
It's quite a nobrainer :)
