I need to chose between a staff or mace/shield for my lvl 90 shammy. They are all the same item lvl and all have int/stam/spirit/hast and the weapons have +spell power. what stat should i look at to tell me what gear to use?
im elemental so should I look at spell power and not worry about DPS?

The dps of a melee weapon has no effect on your spells, you should simply choose the combination that offers you the greatest value of stats; Int, Spirit, Haste, Spellpower and the like.

As an elemental shaman, you stat priorities are pretty straight forward
Int>Hit 15%>Master>Haste>Crit
Use the combination that gives you the most of those stats in order.
If you are at hit cap/you dont want any more spirit, so the items with the least amount is best. If you are far from hit, then you want more spirit.
Ask Mr Robot is your friend. Just remember to use it as a guide, not an end all be all.

pick the highest ilevel MH weapon because it will have the most spell power (regardless of whether it's a staff or 1H).
if equal, use the ones that give the best secondary stats.
if that is also about equal, use the mace/shield because you will end up with +160 int (due to shield enchant).
