You need to use shield in PvP. It doesn't matter in PvE.

Like Eefa said in pve, you take what is best for you. Most probably the choice with more spellpower/intelect.

For pvp, you need resilience, therefore even Legendary staff is not option. When Legendary is out of the game, you should choose shield which gives you tons of armor too.

In PvE it's not a whole lot of difference. Usually you can use a staff if you prefer. Whatever gives you more spellpower or intellect.

As prev posters have mentioned. In PvE it doesn't really matter, if a staff have better stats go for that one, but for PvP it is crucial that you use a shield, since you cannot loose the armor it gives.

i used a shield in PvE 5man's for a while, The agro level is huge for ele's if the tank does not play it well, same for LFR on ultrax. Rather drop my orange and pick a shield. tanks seem to die there

Remember that a shield allows for a cheap and easy to get +40 intellect enchant on Shield / off-hand. When comparing stats, you need to compare the 2h to 1h+shield+40 int.
