I actually use the Staff in PvP and I more often than not end up winning in points lead.
But that may also be due to the rank I am on.
However, with Mist Form, Earth Armor and Tornado I get pretty decent survivability, a third Dodge with Staff Fire 4 Skill, and good Combo Field placement of Air 5 Skill enhances Damage of my Team while the enemies try to kill me – the annoying Ele.
That has me end up killing almost all of them once before I go down the first time.
Its also manageable to fight 1on1 like this, but its more useful when you have at least one team Member with you.
Tornado btw is just a great way to defend points even against multiple opponents, while you buy time for your Team to come and help you.
The point is to survive always long enough to put out more damage.
I am pretty happy with the Staff. 3rd Dodge, nice Combo Fields, you can cast Meteor shower from a decent range down on a point to just make this area more hazardous for your enemies. And maybe even get a Lava Pool down on your position before going down, and then have another Lava Pool from your Traits pop up. Sometimes the damage of two is too high for anyone to finish you. Even more time you have just won.
I am having a lot of fun with it, getting my enemies frustrated.
